Critical reception
Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! stated "Moka's lo-fi production is jazzy hip-hop, light on bass, his flow is laidback and chilled out, and his hooks are primarily self-sung, making for a mellow mood" and named "To Keep Us Rollin" as the highlight of the album.
Kamir Hiam of The Find claimed "Airport 6 could be one of his best works yet. At the very least, this LP shoots in to my top 10 rap releases of the year."
Chi Chi Talken of Scratched Vinyl said "Moka's production is incredibly warm and intimate, while also retaining a certain playfulness that makes the album immediately accessible. On top of this great production work, Moka delivers some of his best lyrical work as well."
