LSD received mixed reviews from critics. Kat Bein of Entertainment Weekly wrote that LSD were not afraid to "get weird" on this project and praised the album, noting that its "mix of tropical vibes and experimental hooks give [it] a pleasant, lush, varied landscape of tones and tempos".[22] Writing for Pitchfork, Dani Blum criticised the album, writing that it sounds like "an algorithmic midden of pop music" and that the lyrical content is "asinine".[25] Jem Aswad of Variety noted that there are "several gems" in the album's tracks, and praised Labrinth and Diplo's production.[27] Reviewing for NME, El Hunt gave LSD 3 out of 5 stars, praising "exceptional" stand-out tracks such as "Thunderclouds" and "Genius", but also implying the album is generic, and those desiring more experimental music should "[look] elsewhere".[23] Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic rated the album 4 out of 5 stars, describing the album as "good and fun", and as an "experience to embrace and enjoy".[1]

The album received a weighted average rating of 60 based on reviews from seven critics on review aggregator Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average" reception.[21]
