Johann Sebastian Bachlava the Doctor received generally positive reviews from music critics. In a 5-star review, Alfie Clark of Hive Magazine described it as "an album that is so easy on the ears, yet provides a certain level of complexity that is so often seen in the alternative rap scene, all whilst keeping his wild and hilarious personality in the mix". Clark additionally described the album's production as "superb".[7] Jack Berth of Respect My Region considered it "a truly amazing rap record", and also commended the album's production, naming it "exceptional" and "extremely diverse".[10] Alton Barnhart of SLUG opined that while the album was "a fun listen", there was "no true narrative or concept, just a liar’s dice barrel of songs that don’t quite fit together".[1]
