"With its 34-minute runtime, its cartoon cover art, and the pervading levity of Tobacco's beats, Malibu Ken may seem at first like a minor work. But there's nothing diminutive about a record this sharply written. It's a side project every bit as substantial as Aesop Rock's proper albums. That it also happens to be more fun than most of them is a bonus".

"Tobacco's production throughout the album isn't quite as lo-fi or dirty-sounding as his solo work, and his presence is clearly felt, but he doesn't overpower Aesop. The two are a fitting match for each other, and their collaboration works as well as fans would expect".

"That innate weirdness is on full display here, from GUNSHO's acid trip sleeve art to the pop-out Malibu Ken mask (with elastic string!) that comes with physical releases. And for the most part, Malibu Ken is a success, albeit one that requires a couple listens to acclimate to".
