Critical reception
Steve Juon of RapReviews.com gave the album a 7.5 out of 10, saying, "It's hard not to recommend Paranoid Castle to everybody reading except for one thing: it's just not going to be boom bap enough for some or macho enough for others."[3] Niela Orr of Okayplayer said, "The beats are one of the likable things on the album, and it's clear that Factor is intent on purposefully matching the tone of Dominant's swirly, machismo laced, man-boy bragging."[2]
