While it may not be his Late Registration, he has definitely graduated into a class of his own."[66] Andre Grant of HipHopDX stated, "It is less artistic than it means to be, but information technology is truer than annihilation he'southward e'er made. Its narrative, the tropes, and the strategies are completely overcome past the album's terrifying integrity.."[74] Craig Jenkins of Pitchfork said, "2014 Forest Hills Bulldoze is a decent album selling itself as great. It wraps itself in the garments of a classic, only you lot can see that the tailoring is off."[69] Kellan Miller of XXL stated, "With every quality driblet from the self-proclaimed "God", his ceiling will continue to grow and and then will fan expectations."[73] David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "2014 Forest Hills Bulldoze comes off as a great, experimental, and advancing mixtape, but it's insider to a error, as slight as that mistake might be."[64] Jesal "Jay Soul" Padania of RapReviews said, "He been afforded a rare amount of artistic liberty on 2014 Woods Hills Drive and there aren't even whatever singles, so information technology's great that he'southward more or less delivered. Merely whilst this definitely misses out on classic territory, that doesn't hateful information technology isn't a bloody good album for the most part."[75]

Marshall Gu of PopMatters said, "On 2014 Forest Hills Drive, nosotros've however got the same ol' Cole, only with diminishing returns and without any friends to assist him."[76] David Turner of Rolling Stone said, "He speaks some incisive truths virtually course, race ("Fire Squad") and relationships ("Wet Dreamz"), but those insights are too often undercut by crass humor. The production falls short, too, with irksome beats to match his languid flow."[70] Jason Gubbels of Spin said, "Cole's keen sense of injustice registers throughout 2014 Woods Hills Drive, whether slagging white artists for creative thievery or seething over national media outlets pigeonholing blackness genius into sports/pop either / ors.... But the absence of "Be Free" however detracts. Unless y'all're the blazon of moviegoer who sits patiently through the terminate titles, feel costless to duck out of "Notation to Self" a bit early and head over to SoundCloud."[71] Robert Christgau gave the album a ane-star honorable mention rating in his review for Cuepoint, naming "Wet Dreamz" and "Beloved Yourz" equally highlights while summing the album upwardly as being "total of the kind of good intentions the route to irrelevance is paved with".[77]
