Critical reception

Tiny Mix Tapes highlighted the mixtape in their monthly roundup, describing it as "another mega ray of light to a chorus of auto-tuned cheers and boat ad-libs," describing the songs as "fresh air in a stiff room, and damn if this world doesn’t need more of it."[1] Writing for Exclaim!, Chris Dart called it a "mix of likeability and being at the right place at the right time," and praised the production, which he described as "run[ning] the gamut from chillwave to experimental keyboard soundscapes to something best described as what would happen you force fed trap music through an '80s soft rock band."[2] Pitchfork wrote that "Yachty is delivering an aesthetic, which is catnip to some (mostly those 25 and under) and repellent to others. But if you’re locked in, Summer Songs 2 can be a lot of fun."[3]
