The album received critical acclaim. Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Neil Z. Yeung described it as, "Vibrant, exciting, and back to basics, [the album] is a blessing to fans willing to dig into the lore, and could even be an accessible entry point for casual listeners digging into his entertaining wordplay, underrated flow, and old-school production." and called it a "multimedia experience that doubles as one of the stronger, more mature efforts in his catalog."{{Cite web |last=Yeung |first=Neil Z. |date=2024-08-09 |title=Ultra 85 - Logic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/ultra-85-mw0004325347 |access-date=2024-08-29 |website=AllMusic |language=en}}
