Partymobile received mixed reviews from music critics. Adrienne Harmony from Exclaim! noted, "beyond these, though, there's a lot on Partymobile that simply comes and goes. A surprising turn for such a memorable artist." Scott Glaysher from HipHopDX rated Partymobile a 3.7 out of 5, stating, "as society gets deeper into this unprecedented quarantine, the masses will have more time on their own to sit and long for intimate relationships and Party's isolation anthems are a source of solace."
