## Critical reception

*Deeply Rooted* was met with generally favourable reviews from [music critics](/source/Music_journalism). *[AllHipHop](/source/AllHipHop)* reviewer praised the album, calling it "one of the better albums by one of the game's best emcees, and so that still makes for one of dopest hip-hop albums in recent years".[4] Aaron McKrell of *[HipHopDX](/source/HipHopDX)* found "musically, *Deeply Rooted* is low-key, superbly playing to Scarface's strengths. Piano loops and thick drums draw in the listener while allowing Scarface to take center stage on several tracks, providing the album with a cohesive feel without sounding repetitive".[5] Matt Jost of *RapReviews* praised N.O. Joe's production and called it "a vintage Scarface album".[6] [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)'s David Jeffries called it "an album that touches upon the man's beliefs with the key cut being 'God'".[7] Erin Lowers of *[Exclaim!](/source/Exclaim!)* concluded: "although *Deeply Rooted* may not hold up to previous albums in the grand scheme of [his discography](/source/Scarface_discography), the veteran once again planted seeds for his legacy to grow".[8]
