The album received negative reviews from music critics. Bernadette Giacomazzo of HipHopDX said that Roth "seems entirely out of his league" in attempting to tackle serious subjects, and "while he hits the mark on more than a few occasions, he falls disastrously short on more than a few others". However, "Way More Fun" and "Hibiscus" were singled out for praise, and Giacomazzo concluded that "Flowers on the Weekend, overall, is an interesting listen, if nothing else."[2] Dani Blum of Pitchfork was more critical, stating that it was hard to take Roth's newfound political commitment seriously, and that the album's "most firm commitment is to bludgeoning language and logic". Blum stated that "the production alternates between grating open-mic-night theatrics – clanging cymbals, cloying bursts of trumpet, audible whoops – and plodding drums" and that the songs were "frictionless and forgettable".[3]
