rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average
score of 87, based on 23 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim". Phrenology earned praise from critics for its sound and balance of lyrical content. Dave Heaton of PopMatters
called it "an impressive, ambitious work" and commended The Roots for "filling their sound out and pushing it in a variety of directions [...] the form of tight soul/funk that it seemed like they had perfected on Things Fall Apart, but here it sounds even more exact, funkier and edgier". Blender
s RJ Smith described it as "a celebration of self-determination, a nonstop joyride through some very complicated brains" and commented that The Roots "can fulfill nearly all of their sweeping ambition to resuscitate soul’s past". Alexis Petridis of The Guardian
gave the album four out of five stars and commented that the band "seem[s] exclusively capable of absorbing other genres. [...] When the Roots return to more straightforward hip-hop, the results are idiosyncratic and hugely enjoyable". Slant Magazine
's Sal Cinquemani called the album "subtly progressive" and found the lyrical content to "challenge the commodification and subsequent destruction of hip-hop culture". Rolling Stone
writer Pat Blashill noted "a startling array of hip-hop reinventions" and called The Roots "a hip-hop band that strikes a very funky balance between righteousness and humor, between headbanging grooves and truth-telling". Allmusic editor Steve Huey gave the album four-and-a-half out of five stars and found it musically significant to the band's catalogue, stating:
Despite writing that Black Thought's "rhymes come and go without making much of an impression", Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times
called the album "tantalizing" and wrote that The Roots "have been studying hip-hop history [...] they see hip-hop as a sensibility, not a sound". Chicago Sun-Times
writer Jim DeRogatis
gave it four out of four stars and called it "a near-classic right out of the gate, an urgent, raucous and thought-provoking 70 minutes that mine the musical territory between hard hip-hop and smoother Philly soul, while spitting takes on topics from America's sex-as-product culture ("Pussy Galore") to the hazards of the street (the 10-minute centerpiece "Water," a three-part suite that evolves from an absolutely hammering ?uestlove beat to a freaky, mind-blowing jazz jam)". Steve Jones of USA Today
also gave the album four out of four stars and commented that "The Roots are shaping a heady brew of music that showcases hip-hop's most creative route". In his consumer guide for The Village Voice
, critic Robert Christgau
gave Phrenology an A- rating, indicating "the kind of garden-variety good record that is the great luxury of musical micromarketing and overproduction". Christgau complimented Kamal Gray
's "keyb hooks" and stated "[B]elieve that after years of racial mythology, they've found it in their talent to put black music's long tradition of tune and structure into practice". In retrospect, The Rolling Stone Album Guide gave the album four-and-a-half out of five stars and cited "Water" as a highlight, "that begins with the age-old Bo Diddley
beat and ends as an extended musique concrète
-style instrumental fantasia".
