    Shadow of a Doubt received positive reviews from

    average score of 78, based on 12 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[2] Michael Madden of Consequence said, "Even with all its different sounds, Shadow of a Doubt leaves one clear impression: Freddie Gibbs is a restless artist who continues to find meaning in his Gary story and beyond, knowing that the details can prepare him for whatever comes next."[3] Keith Nelson Jr. of HipHopDX said, "When he ends the album with "Cold Ass Nigga", the most demonstrably aggressive verse on the album, you realize Shadow of a Doubt isn't Gibbs flipping to go pop, but a man secure enough in the foundation he has laid to take a leap of faith."[6] Max Mertens of Pitchfork stated "While the final result is less cohesive, and could benefit from trimming two or three songs, there's no denying Gibbs' versatility."[8]
