Pitchfork
The rap trio’s latest, like its predecessor, can become a slog and at times seems shoddily constructed. But at its best, the album is a callback to their inspired peak.

Rolling Stone
Migos Deliver a Record for a World That’s Ready to Reopen With ‘Culture III’.

NME
rap’s premier trio end trilogy on a high note.

Vinyl Chapters
On the one hand, this is completely valid and it is always encouraging to see what new direction rap will be taken in next. On the other hand, having heard this style many times and still not feeling overly convinced, it’s safe to conclude this style has its own merits and standards it adheres to – but it just isn’t for me (and that’s fine).

Ratings Game Music
Culture III is a lot of fun to listen to. It has solid raps, good beats, dynamic flows, and great guest features. I would say this third installment of the Culture series is a success!

Popdust
Culture III might be more of the same, but changing the world is a monumental undertaking, and Culture's closure feels more like the trio popping in one last time just to remind us that no one can touch them, and no one ever will.
-
Clash Magazine
A huge undertaking, ‘Culture 3’ is marked by its dense array of sonic reference points. It’s a huge record, a panoramic thriller that places three incendiary MCs against a digital orchestra – an ambitious, lavish, and extraordinarily successful release.

Hot New HipHop
Migos deliver the final chapter of the trilogy with "Culture III," a project that shines when the focus is placed upon the inspired trio.
-
EW
Ultimately, with Culture III, the Migos aren't reinventing the wheel. But watching them kick verses back and forth as an expression of their unbreakable familial bond, particularly after the three-and-a-half hiatus since Culture II (an eternity in modern rap), is just as satisfying.

Slant Magazine
There’s as much lazy delivery of the goods on the album as there is engaging interplay.

HipHop DX
MIGOS REKINDLE THE FLAME BUT FAIL TO LIGHT UP THE TRAP ON 'CULTURE III'.
-
The Line of Best Fit
Migos’s return on Culture III is self-indulgent in all the right ways.
-
Stereboard
Faced with continual setbacks, Migos have nevertheless put together a gargantuan album strong enough to catapult them back into a relevant space. But in the cold light of day it is weakened by unpleasant overtures that are a mess of arrogance and ignorance.
-
The Needle Drop
The most creatively bankrupt thing to bear the Migos name thus far.
-
The Guardian
The new album from the biggest group in rap is very long, and mostly about cars and drugs. But there’s comfort in repetition – and some genuine eeriness and melancholy.
