Reception
Evan Rytlewski, writing for Pitchfork, gave Wopavelli 3 a rating of 6.8/10, calling it a "wildly fun but sometimes rough listen" which "taps into the same vein of showmanship and exploitation as so many '80s metal acts".[1]
In a review on HotNewHipHop, Mitch Findlay wrote that the mixtape is abundant with "feverish ad-libs" and that "Lil Wop's voice might take some getting used to" due to his "slow, methodical rasp", which "creaks over a beat like a slow-opening door".[9]
Office Magazine described the mixtape simply as "spooky and freaky".[10]
