In a positive review, David Aaron Brake ofHipHopDX wrote that "though he didn't expand beyond the sounds of his previous work, Yeat's latest is a master class in precision and knowing what the audience craves. Excellent rap need not always be grand in scope:2 Alivë proves success can come just as easily through zooming in".[10]
In a mixed review, Alphonse Pierre ofPitchfork wrote that "the 21-year-old Portland rapper isn't doing anything all that new, but he has a refreshing album-focused approach, best listened to as one continuous stream, getting lost in the noisy madness".[11] Writing forAllMusic, David Crone felt that the album's 20-song track list is "undeniably bloated, padded out with some fairly one-dimensional material".[12]
Any song title that contains the letter 'e' is replaced with 'ë'. For example, "Rackz Got Me" is stylized as "Rackz Got Më". If a song contains two or more 'e's, then the first one is only replaced.
