Release and reception
Riot Boi received positive reviews from critics, garnering a score of 78 out of 100 on aggregate site Metacritic. Clash called the album "a trailblazing record very much in the now," describing it as "bombastic, and transgressive." AllMusic wrote that "Riot Boi overwhelms with twists, turns, and surprises, all of which are exhilarating," noting in particular the record's "schizophrenic production that leaps from horny trap to frantic electroclash." Pitchfork wrote that "Riot Boi shows us a trailblazer sitting down among these cracked shards of glass, reckoning with what it means to have come first." Consequence of Sound wrote that "Riot Boi is easily Le1f’s most political music to date, arguing that the album "essentially turns intersectionality talking points into personal identifiers, and they line his sneakily clever raps and touching personal stories."
