Suite #420 was met with mixed or average 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 57, based on seven reviews.^[1]

AllMusic's David Jeffries wrote: "Devin's redundancy is the reason fans keep coming back. They won't be disappointed by Suite #420, which features the usual set of chilled-out weed anthems, sex jokes, and old-school R&B beats, along with those great oddball numbers the Dude uses to break each album up".^[2] In his final edition of Consumer Guide column for MSN Music, veteran critic Robert Christgau stated: "the weed rhymes he takes himself, the sex rhymes he farms out, which in the Dirty South is a sign of truly delicate sensibility", honourably mentioning tracks "All You Need", "Ultimate High" and "Twitta".^[7]

Jason Richards of Now found "Devin's single-mindedness makes for a highly unified style, and the album's relaxed, hazy production is the aural equivalent of comfort food. But the repetition is kinda tedious for an hour of straight listening".^[4] Tom Breihan of Pitchfork wrote: "it's good to hear him still recording, even if he's deeply entrenched himself in his own wheelhouse and barely has a single surprising moment in the album's whole hour. But if the album never existed, nobody's life would be much poorer for it-- possibly even Devin's".^[5] The A.V. Club head writer Nathan Rabin resumed: "nobody expects maturity from Devin, even though he jarringly mentions that he has a 17-year-old son, but he usually makes eternal adolescence sound a lot more fun than this".^[8]
