Slime Season 2 received widespread acclaim from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 81, based on four reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".[3] Meaghan Garvey of Pitchfork stated that Slime Season 2 was "a more carefully constructed work than its predecessor in every sense" and "presents him instead as a storyteller in the magical realist tradition, drawing glimmers of nonplussed fascination out of the rational world. Within this context, his habit for working in small-scale, occasionally disjointed bursts, recording each line spontaneously, makes perfect sense. His thoughts fracture and wander down unpredictable paths, forcing us to draw connections in non-linear ways."[1]

Paul Thompson of Spin commented that Slime Season 2 "continues to give context and direction as to the rapper's wealth of unorganized material. This time, it's constructed with more precision, playing out as one long crescendo. As always, Thug is wildly inventive with the form, pulling melodies out of thin air and rapping like the walls are closing in. Slime Season 2 gives him ample negative space to do so."[5]
