''Crabs in a Bucket'' received positive reviews from critics. For ''[[Clash (magazine)|Clash]]'', Tochi Imo complimented Nines' consistency in his musical approach: "Whilst greater experimentation would’ve been met with appreciation, one of Nines’ most notable characteristics is his ability to stay true to his experiences despite growing commercial success, so I can’t be disappointed with a tape that exudes such authenticity. Although the whole album has clear themes, each track tells a story of its own and here, Nines anchors himself as one of the UK’s best storytellers."<ref name="Clash"/>
