Well-Done was met with universal acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 79 based on eight reviews.[2]
Jesse Gissen of XXL praised the album, resuming: "once they digest this one, fans will be eager for seconds".[9] Pedro 'DJ Complejo' Hernandez of RapReviews called the album "a shining example of what collaborative albums should be".[8] Jayson Greene of Pitchfork wrote: "Bronson's biggest strengths are a goofy sense of humor and a refreshing lack of self-regard: at its best, Well-Done is like spending 45 minutes with the affable, roly-poly guy who cracked you up at your high school lunch table".[7] AllMusic's Jon O'Brien stated: "adhering to the old-school MC/producer approach, Well-Done is a promising and cohesive affair which proves Bronson has the raw talent to match his much talked about appetite".[4]
