Reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, RoadKillOvercoat received an average score of 68% based on 13 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

Jason Crock of Pitchfork Media gave RoadKillOvercoat a 6.9 out of 10 and said, "Nobody and Boom Bip provide beats that draw from a wider range of styles and flirt with an alien, psychedelic edge, giving Busdriver enough room to be as weird as he wants to be."[4]

Alan Ranta of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 4 stars out of 5, noting that "[Busdriver's] choruses are instantly memorable and his word-soup lyricism easily places him in the upper echelon of intelligent emcees, somewhere between MF Doom and Dose One."[7]

It was listed by Jeff Shaw of City Pages as one of his "Top 10 Albums of 2007".[9]
