Critical reception

Wall of Sound scored the album 7.5/10, stating: "[Corey Taylor is] doing something that he's always wanted to do. You're not going to hear these songs on a Stone Sour or Slipknot album, but you will hear them on CMFT which presents the iconic frontman's progression as a musician and just how talented he can be when he tries his hand at genres that have piqued his interest over the years."{{Cite web|last=brownypaul|date=2020-10-01|title=Corey Taylor – CMFT (Album Review)|url=https://wallofsoundau.com/2020/10/01/corey-taylor-cmft-album-review/|access-date=2020-10-01|website=Wall of Sound}}
