"The Madlib collaboration ['Piñata'] is deemed his finest moment, but when Gibbs is flying solo, taking production from different houses, he stands tall as an artist that knows his direction - knows his drill - and can expose that. Throughout his discography, he's proved himself adept at rapping in different arenas while refusing the mainstream draw of selling his vision for cheap. Souls may be sold separately on the trail for gold, but respect is earned, and Freddie Gibbs continues to rack up the points with another stellar entry in an almost-infallible collection of projects".

"His last three records - produced either by the Alchemist or Madlib - felt more like snugly fitting puzzle pieces than curious experimentations ... Now Gibbs departs from the comfort zone that he's built for himself on $oul $old $eparately, inviting in producers like Kaytranada, James Blake, and DJ Paul into the fold. It's a refreshing canvas for a rapper whose technical prowess and stark songwriting deserve a varied landscape to thrive in".

"Grander in scope than Gibbs' rightly praised single-producer efforts, $oul $old $eparately is nearly as consistent, as the project is driven by his unyielding focus".
