Critical reception
Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork praised the chemistry between the two rappers but felt that "Many of the ideas and sounds on Coke Zoo feel like Fetty Wap B-sides and leftovers."{{cite web|url= http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21251-coke-zoo/|title= French Montana / Fetty Wap: Coke Zoo|first= Sheldon |last= Pearce | publisher=Pitchfork.com |date= November 3, 2015}}
