Raskit received generally favourable reviews from critics upon release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 78, based on 12 reviews.[6] Ben Cardew of Pitchfork stated that Raskit converges grime with hip hop and "retains The Fifth's deliberately divided identity, with beats that fall between grime’s crude electronic minimalism and trap’s skittering intricacy".[12] Jordan Bassett of NME labelled Raskit a "brilliant return to grime" for Dizzee Rascal and "hasn’t sounded this vital in years".[1] Andy Cowan of Mojo stated: "If 2013’s The Fifth was a rare, guest-heavy misstep that polished off rough edges to brazenly target a transatlantic audience, Raskit junks its predecessor’s egregious schmaltz for marauding bass and spartan trap backings."[10]
