Rolling Stone 's Charles Holmes wrote, " The Wizrd is the last album in Future's current major-label deal, and it's effective at reinforcing the qualities that turned him into a star, as well as outlining his rags-to-riches story one more time for those who weren't paying attention". Even the few misses don't disrupt the rhythm of the project". But with The WIZRD, one can barely feel it because of the smooth flow from track to track.
Tommy Monroe of Consequence said, "A 20-track album is a lot. Jewels like 'F&N' (with its nifty beat switch), 'Promise U That' and 'Faceshot' run the risk of getting lost in all the streaming". But at 20 tracks, The Wizrd runs overlong. Diehard Future fans, of which there are legion, will be satisfied.
