Critical reception[]

Spin wrote that the album's "beach-bound grooves are well-trodden."[4] Entertainment Weekly called it "sleeker and more streamlined than its three predecessors."[3] The Washington Post called Philadelphonic the band's best album, writing that it "achieves a flow so smooth that one can't tell where the Bob Dylan influences stop and the Eric B. & Rakim influences start."[6]
