Send Them to Coventry was met with universal acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the mixtape received an average score of 90 based on eight reviews.

Robert Kazandjian of Clash praised the work, saying: "stunning debut mixtape 'Send Them to Coventry'. The 15-track project is a musical kaleidoscope, fusing elements of afro-swing, dancehall, grime, and rap. Sonically, it speaks to the fluidity of Black sounds". Will Pritchard of Pitchfork said: "this is an extraordinarily assured first offering from a young artist capable of surprising at every turn. The result is not so much a foreboding portrait of a forgotten, boom-and-bust city, but an invitation to a place and people unduly ignored—and an introduction to an artist who won't be". Bella Martin of DIY said: "imbued throughout with a fusion of Pa's Gambian heritage, and life growing up in Coventry ("COV, #cityofviolence" introduces "Informa"), it's a varied, confident and cinematic trip through where the performer finds himself". Dhruva Balram of NME said: "seriously brilliant stuff. Send Them to Coventry promises that Salieu is unbelievably gifted with a ceiling nowhere in sight. He carries the entire mixtape with his singular voice oscillating between conventional rap flows, dancehall toasts and ice-cold venomous lyrics". Alexis Petridis of The Guardian found out that the mixtape "sounds like it would have been successful at any time, regardless of extraneous circumstances: it's too fresh and inventive to ignore". Damien Morris of The Observer resumed: "'Frontline' and 'My Family' are among the best singles of the year, and there are three more just as good here".
