28 Grams was met with mixed reviews from critics. Bruce Smith from HipHopDX gave the mixtape a two out of five, saying "Experimentation and trying new things with an art form are great. However, when the new things one tries are really just catering to popular trends, it’s less experimentation, and more imitation. Thus, 28 Grams is too all over the place, overall and it feels like too much music, too much Auto-tune, and too much music that sounds as though it was already created by someone else." Joe Sweeney from PopMatters gave the album a 5 out of ten, saying "The rapper breaks into his Flava Flav-esque giggle toward the end, and for once, it feels earned."
