Splitting Image was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 74 based on four reviews.^[1]

Eric Sirota of RapReviews stated: "it's not a new sound, and, at points, the tracks feel monotonous as they bleed into each other. Still, there are certainly standouts".^[5] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club claimed: "Moye is never anything less than truthful; he's so unrelentingly forthright and candid that song titles like "Let's Get Honest" and "Reality Check" can't help but seem a little redundant".^[6]

In mixed reviews, David Amidon of PopMatters wrote: "he's not the most impressive MC, but like Fashawn or Blu, he's articulate when it comes to laying out a life story across a record. Fans ought to be pleased, as well as fans of that QN5/Justus League southern hip-hop".^[3] Andrew Martin of Prefix magazine concluded: "at 15 tracks clocking in at 57 minutes, it shouldn't feel as lengthy as it does. But certain cuts tend to drag, be it because of the inconsistent production, Moye's sometimes phoned-in rapping, or both".^[4]
