Reception of The Papercut Chronicles Ii has been mixed. Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly opined that while the album "too often chokes on revved-up aggro crisis and laughable lyrical raging against the automobile, it works when they jettison their limp rap-stone instincts and plunge into crossover pop similar the haunting 'Life Goes On' and stealthily sincere 'Ass Back Home'."[6] Gregory Heaney of AllMusic noted that The Papercut Chronicles 2 will come as a "nail from the past" for the ring's fans, calculation that songs such as "Lazarus, Ze Gitan" and "Solo Discotheque (Whiskey Bitness)" feature the "infectious and highly polished sound that has made the quartet the pop/rap/punk crossover triple threat that information technology's grown into over the years."[four] In a highly negative review of the tape, Jody Rosen of Rolling Rock gave the record i and a half stars out of five, calling information technology "the year's most charmless anthology" and referring to McCoy as a "laughably inept MC".[10]

- The song "Kid Nothing and the Never-Ending Naked Nightmare" itself ends at iii:53. At that place is and so a few minutes of silence, and so at 7:07 a hidden rails outro starts, which involves a computerized vox asking what the listener thought well-nigh the album, then going off into random tangents.
