Lil Boat 2 was met with mixed reviews. At Metacritic, the album received an average score of 50, based on eight reviews.[7] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave Lil Boat 2 4.6 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[6]

In a mixed review, NME's Sam Moore stated: "Clocking in at 47 minutes (despite its 17-track length), Lil Boat 2 feels like a vast improvement from Teenage Emotions simply as it doesn't feel like an ordeal to listen to. What that does do, however, is narrow down your focus, which tends to land on Yachty's predisposition for telling us just how rich he is now."[13] Comparing Lil Boat 2 to its predecessor, Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork labelled the album "a sequel in name only, a far cry from the candy-coated, bittersweet melodies that made him a viral sensation on the original", as well as criticizing Yachty's songwriting and sonic approach.[14]

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian concluded that "In trading his sunlit humour for tedious boasts, the rap star has only succeeded in giving more ammunition to his many critics", adding that "Lil Boat 2's main musical currency is a kind of frugal gloom, in which icy electronic drones waft over sparse beats."[10] M. T. Richards of Exclaim! said, "The album is so riven by corporate overtures that it bears no resemblance to its prequel."[9] Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX gave a positive review, stating "Lil Boat 2 is a simply a weird musical vacation that sets sail into the strange mind of the impactful red-haired youngster."[11]

Commercial performance

Lil Boat 2 debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 dated March 24, 2018, with 64,000 album-equivalent units (including 7,000 pure album sales).[16] It is Lil Yachty's second top five album after Teenage Emotions (2017), and his highest-peaking.[16]
