Streams of Thought, Vol. 2 was met with positive reviews. Writing for HipHopDX in December 2018, Riley Wallace praised Remi's production, calling it "reminiscent of classic Motown sessions", and concluded, "Though Salaam does little to push Black Thought outside of his comfort zone, it does little to distract from how solid this project is, and the lyrical depth and complexity of all nine tracks." [1] In his "Consumer Guide" column, Robert Christgau applauded the rapper for showing "how conscious a romantic lead's conscience can be" and wrote in summary that, "no longer hemmed in by album concepts or fusion-band masquerade, here’s where Tariq Trotter is freed to turn out kick-ass rap mixtapes and show off how much reading he does." [2] Fellow critic Tom Hull, who had deemed the first volume as "half of a pretty good Roots album", said Vol. 2 is the "second half of that Roots album even stronger, with no reason to miss the live band".
