Deeply Rooted was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. 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 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".[7] Matt Jost of RapReviews praised N.O. Joe's production and called it "a vintage Scarface album".[8] AllMusic's David Jeffries called it "an album that touches upon the man's beliefs with the key cut being 'God'".[5] Erin Lowers of Exclaim! concluded: "although Deeply Rooted may not hold up to previous albums in the grand scheme of his discography, the veteran once again planted seeds for his legacy to grow".[6]
