Reception
HipHopDX and HotNewHipHop both reported how Whole Lotta Red received a "lukewarm" reception from listeners upon its release, however, some praise was aimed at West's verse on "Go2DaMoon", considered a "redeeming quality" on the album. Attention was also geared toward West's line about Jesus, due to Whole Lotta Red being perceived to have Satanic connotations, stemming from the album's merch, which features inverted crosses, among other imagery. Uproxx's Aaron Williams found West's verse to be uninspiring,{{cite web|url=https://uproxx.com/music/playboi-carti-whole-lotta-red-review/|title=Playboi Carti Tries To Harness His Chaotic Energy On The Inconsistent 'Whole Lotta Red'|work=Uproxx|last=Williams|first=Aaron|date=December 28, 2020|access-date=January 5, 2021}} while in their album review, Pitchfork{{'}}s Paul A.
