In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer Jon O'Brien wrote: "4everevolution, shows he [Manuva] can still summarize the state of the nation more succinctly in one line that most MCs half his age manage over the course of an entire album. 4everevolution is an appropriately titled, subtle progression which proves that intelligent hip-hop and accessible urban pop don't have to be mutually exclusive." Reef Younis of Clash said: "The production is crisp and varied; Roots' warm vocal typically hits with soul without being too forcefully firebrand and constant changes in style and tempo gives 4Everevolution the energy to see it through." At Drowned in Sound, Al Horner noted that it was Manuva's "most assured and compelling listen to date."
