3001: A Laced Odyssey was met with universal acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 80 based on seven reviews. The aggregator AnyDecentMusic? has the critical consensus of the album at a 7.1 out of 10, based on six reviews.

Keith Nelson Jr. of HipHopDX praised the album, stating: "produced entirely by Erick "The Architect" Elliott, the 12-song mind trip is hodgepodge of haunting strings, ambient sounds fit for a sci-fi film and hard-hitting drums". AllMusic's David Jeffries resumed: "an excellent debut that flows perfectly and offers something new with every return". Hugh Leask of Clash found "the impressive chemistry the trio displayed on their earlier work continues here". Brooklyn Russell of Tiny Mix Tapes wrote: "a journey into their liberated, tie-dyed consciousness and their best project to date". Chris Gibbons of XXL called the album "a perfect first step in a career that is still blooming". Kathy Iandoli of Pitchfork wrote: "3001: A Laced Odyssey does an adequate job of reminding us all of Flatbush Zombies' smart, sharp lyrics. What they lack in hit-single potential, they make up for in talent, but without a calling-card song it's hard to know what their next move is". Alejandra Ramirez of Consequence concluded: "their immaturity and brusqueness is flavored with a new level of social consciousness and introspection".
