Professional ratings
Review scores
SourceRating
Pitchfork5.3/10[9]

Dylan Green of Pitchfork gave Visionland a rating of 5.3 out of 10, saying that "[Nahmir]'s missing the punchy enthusiasm of Flo Milli, the melodic sharpness of NoCap, or the vivid stoicism of OMB Peezy and brings little else to the table". He gave positive comments about the album's first track, calling it "one of Nahmir's best".[9]
