It's a wildly entertaining circus ride. Travis Scott desperately needed a great album to justify the hype, and with Astroworld , he just might have a classic. Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork labelled Astroworld as Scott's strongest album to date, stating that 'his skill as a curator helps sculpt a sticky, humid, psychedelic world with dazzling production and odd pleasures at every turn', although considered Scott to 'play ringmaster to his neon-decayed circus of sound rather than become the main attraction.
Weingarten complimented the first half of the album, though considered the second half to be weaker in comparison: 'Unfortunately, Scott doesn't keep the envelope pushing up for the whole album: a seven-song stretch in the back end is vintage Travis with its zoned-out, hypnotic throb.

Although a punchy delivery could mask this significantly sub-par writing, the pair opt instead for a humming Auto-Tune, slathering their verses with robotic filters.
While this works to their strength in the atmospheric layering of "Moon Rock" and "Where U From," for the most part it further lobotomizes the tracks, gutting them of any variance or flair. Even "Best Man," a dedication to the pair's close associates, is delivered in an emotionless daze. The album's redeeming moments come mainly at the hands of Scott; when he's able to adapt his cadences to suit production needs, his choruses grant the verses a fundamental momentum.
