Maxo 187 was met with generally positive reviews from critics. Patrick Montes of Hypebeast said the mixtape "might be his most fully-formed and developed project yet. From the bombastic, trap-on-steroids production of the intro track to the psychedelic graveyard music of "KKK" and the slow-churned, moody turn-up of "Astrodome," Maxo juxtaposes his ruthless cutthroat-raps with a variety of well-produced, quality beats on Maxo 187."{{Cite web |url=https://hypebeast.com/2015/3/maxo-kreams-maxo-187-features-joey-bada-father-fredo-santana-more |title=Maxo Kream's 'Maxo 187' Features Joey Bada$$, Father, Fredo Santana & More |last=Montes |first=Patrick |date=March 5, 2015 |website=Hypebeast |accessdate=January 16, 2018}} Pitchfork called the record a "sinister and visceral portrait of Houston street life...Maxo 187 doesn't portray cripping as an escape from the hood but a liberation from ordinary life."
