David Amidon of PopMatters gave the album 8 stars out of 10, saying, "Blu may have spent most of his post-Below the Heavens career burning one bridge after another, but Give Me My Flowers is not only a better album, it's an atonement for all the swerves he's thrown audiences' way since breaking out." Meanwhile, Phillip Mlynar of HipHopDX gave the album a 3.0 out of 5, saying, "Blu and Exile are without doubt a couple of super-talented Rap chaps, but they need to step out of their snug comfort zone – and sharply."
