AllMusic's Andy Kellman praised the album, calling it "the experience is dense and as cold as a Detroit alley on a February morning, packed with biting beats and thick atmospheric globs".^[2] Mike Krolak of Prefix also praised the album, calling it "truly the next logical step, a new way of looking at the realities of the coming age while keeping things in perspective".^[5] Neal Hayes of PopMatters wrote: "throughout 20 tracks, the producer creates an unsettling soundscape dominated by insistent, intricate rhythms which often react with the vocals to stunning effect".^[4] Steve Yates of The Observer noted "Dabrye's production containing all the arrogance of crunk but a range and innovation that far outstrips anything else around".^[6] Alan Ranta of Tiny Mix Tapes praised "the tunes Tadd Mullinix puts out as Dabrye are obviously hip-hop" ... "or at least contain strong elements of electronica".^[7]

In mixed reviews, Robert Long of AllHipHop concluded: "though it's tough to swallow all the Dabrye flavored Kool-Aid, on Two/Three the man doubled up with a solid effort".^[1] Ryan Dombal of Pitchfork praised Mullinix's "singular Timbaland-meets-the flipside of Low rumble" as "more focused and intricate than ever", simultaneously criticizing many of the rappers as "wordy know-it-alls hell-bent on disrupting his groove". He praises Guilty Simpson's appearance as an example of "what Two/Three could be if the rappers were chosen based on entertainment value rather than how hard they're trying to save rap with big words".^[3]
