Reception
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Power & Passion received an average score of 60% based on 5 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[1] Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX said: "Previously proving capable of awareness and self-scrutiny, Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire is dedicated to regression this go round with Power & Passion, pandering to the notion that entertainment can be drawn from sheer recklessness."[3] Jonah Bromwich of Pitchfork Media felt that "Power and Passion is blighted by a rapper who seems too distracted by his woes to sit down and write more than a couple of full songs."[4] Brandon Soderberg of Spin described the beats as "a chillwave-meets-Bomb Squad sound full of Morricone moans, ringing Black Sabbath riffs, and from-a-black-hole bass."[5]
