Gregory Heaney of

Consequence of Sound gave the album a B−, saying "Lyrically and musically, Manslaughter is easily Body Count's most inspired work since their self-titled debut, because it sounds like a reconciliation of all the misconceptions the band had to deal with in the past. It's a statement of intent this time: They want to be heard, no matter who gets offended or pissed off. If you can't take it, don't listen. If you can, then stop talking shit and enjoy the ride."[13]
