Critical reception
The Record wrote that the album "incorporates live instrumentation and pure singing as a natural outgrowth of the compositions, rather than a gimmick or gesture." The Atlanta Constitution thought that "spaghetti guitars, soul and rock propel this sample-free and cinematic sophomore effort."
AllMusic called Straight No Chase "a brilliantly funky, unpredictable record that veers between street hip-hop, soul, rock and funk."
