HipHopDX said, "Fans of T-Pain will find that his fifth go-around is a quality cure for their six-year itch. One thing can be said for the rapper/singer: he never under-delivers — even if the expectation is for him to totally drop a masterpiece onto the world".[7] Damien Morris of The Guardian expressed a negative response of the album saying that "the music is just tasteless and tired, the sound of a migraine struggling to maintain an erection".[6] Pitchfork wrote that "Oblivion feels like a “business decision” album: it’s a casual affair that frees him from his label obligation to RCA. It isn’t exactly phoned in, but T-Pain has more in his tank than what he shows here, even though the tracks that reflect his past eras display his versatility and allow for optimistic glimpses of a career resurgence."[8]
