Modus Vivendi received critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, Modus Vivendi received a weighted average score of 80 based on 10 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[11] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave the album a 7.4 out of 10 based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[10]
Dhruva Balram of NME praised 070 Shake's lyricism and emotion, writing: "Shedding collaborations entirely, the album consists solely of 070 Shake's hypnotising hooks and shape-shifting vocals. It cements the 22-year-old as a unique artist, proving to everyone – and perhaps even herself – that she doesn't need anyone but her voice to vault herself to success. On Modus Vivendi, she manages to craft a sound that's anthemic, and built for festivals and clubs; but within the grooves, she's precise. Nothing feels out of place. This is project sculpted away from current trends."[17] Reed Jackson of Pitchfork described the album as "intensely sincere, with the New Jersey native proudly serving her soul raw atop bullish, beautiful production", while stating that "it is the most compelling and complete release under G.O.O.D. Music since Pusha T's Daytona."[19]
