GO:OD AM received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72 based on 13 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[15] David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "Getting sober and ridding himself of depression are topics that GO:OD AM touches upon, but rather than his past, the 'show and prove' Miller is driven by his rebirth on an interesting and infectious LP that's also his strongest to date."[16] Andrew Gretchko of HipHopDX said, "If Miller’s sophomore album was a stepping stone that allowed him to climb above his partying past, GO:OD AM serves as a wakeup call for those that think his music is still best suited for frat parties. With a bright future ahead of him, Miller has positioned himself for career longevity, so long as he can keep his demons behind him."[21] Chris Dart of Exclaim! stated, "If there's one flaw with this album, it's its length. If you make a 70-minute album, all 70 of those minutes better be phenomenal, and that's not the case here. Dropping two or three songs would be enough to turn this very good record into a brilliant one."[19] Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone said, "GO:OD A.M. is a 70-minute studio album that would have been better served as two mixtape diary entries until the sober Miller discovered a smarter way to channel his newfound enthusiasm."[24]

Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound said, "Beyond rapping, producing, and singing, Mac must see himself as a total package, and at 70 minutes long, GO:OD AM was always bound to have a lot of elements clashing for space. Somehow, it still feels balanced. It’s essentially an offbeat stoner rap album, but there’s still plenty of melody, in Mac’s own singing and the guest appearances from the likes of Miguel on “Weekend” and Nagano on “The Festival”, as well as in the EDM of “Jump” at the end of the album."[18]

Commercial performance

In the United States, GO:OD AM debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200, selling 73,000 copies in its first week.[25] As of October 2015, the album has sold 92,000 copies domestically.[26]
