Brooklyn Russell of Tiny Mix Tapes said, " Slime Season 3 is as celebratory, emotionally rich, and life-affirming as a good funeral should be but never is.
Brian Duricy of PopMatters said, "His delivery is somehow still getting better, and Slime Season 3 succeeds as an exercise in discovering just how elastic syllables are". The range is still there, but sectioned into neatly packaged offerings". Narsimha Chintaluri of HipHopDX said, "Young Thug's extensive catalog is spotted with dynamic moments and this project seems to forgo such progressiveness. But if the chief complaint about a Young Thug record is that he's too focused, it shows he's honing in on that perfect blend that will launch him into the stratosphere". Adam Kivel of Consequence said, "This record feels a little too brief, especially trailing off at the end. James Wilt of Exclaim! said, "Every song justifies its spot: the Allen Ritter-produced "Drippin' " serves as a standout, exhibiting a staccato delivery and manic yelling, both of which are new to his already vast sonic vocabulary".
