Reaper was released to limited critical reviews upon its release. Mosi Reeves, writing for Rolling Stone gave Reaper three stars out of five, saying that "Nothing,Nowhere. isn't a revelatory rapper or singer, but seamless blend of the two that makes Reaper stand out".[1] Jon Caramanica, writing for The New York Times, praised the album. Caramanica described the album as "an outstanding album that synthesizes the second-wave emo of the early to mid-2000s with the rattling hip-hop low end of the last few years. It is one of the most promising pop albums of the year; the logical, and perhaps inevitable, endpoint of hip-hop’s broad diffusion into every corner of American musical life; and also the most viable current direction for guitar-driven music in the mainstream."[2]
