Oh well. Any group that can present a strong as "West Savannah" and have it only be the fourth or fifth-best song on its parent album rules as far as I'm concerned, and this is a high point in the artistically barren world of late '90s hip-hop.

Fernando Jr. of Rolling Stone wrote "OutKast prove that you don't have to sell out to sell records. Sporting plenty of live chops and soulful harmonies, Aquemini's fresh, original feel defies rap's coastal clichés." [25] Steve Jones of USA Today commented that the duo's "molasses-smooth raps speak to the stark realities of urban streets." [45] Tony Green of Spin said that although they are not as spiritual as Goodie Mob, Outkast's "streetcorner signifying" offers listeners more than simple musical pleasure and that they "have crafted some of the most seductive and dramadelic textures." [43] Giving it a five out of five "mic"-rating, Charlie Braxton of The Source praised the duo for "their superb use of the urban narrative." Braxton called Aquemini "a brilliant record" and commented that it "possesses an uncanny blend of sonic beauty, poignant lyricism and spirituality that compels without commanding".
