Reception
Jordan Selbo of City Pages gave Strictly Leakage an unfavorable review, saying, "[the] once-bright style Atmosphere became famous for is so established and well-tread that it has now become the status quo they once rebelled so infectiously against."
Writing for Impose, Blake Gillepsie wrote that "as much as Atmosphere rewind to simpler times with Strictly Leakage, Slug has a new writing approach, that of a wise elder that alienates him from his predominantly young audience."{{Cite web |last=Gillepsie |first=Blake |title=ATMOSPHERE, STRICTLY LEAKAGE MIXTAPE |url=https://imposemagazine.com/reviews/strictly-leakage-mixtape-atmos }}
