NME gave Let God Sort Em Out a three-star review, stating: “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ isn’t a total misfire: it’s composed, thoughtful and often impressively lyrically detailed.But after 16 years, Clipse didn’t come back knocking down doors and shocking the world. They came back to remind you they’re still here, still alive, still ruminating.” (https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/clipse-let-god-sort-em-out-review-3877533)
