Attractive Sin was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 69 based on eight reviews.[1]

Eli Bernstein of Paste praised the album, calling it "a welcome throwback to an earlier era of underground rap".[5] AllMusic's Fred Thomas stated: "Attractive Sin finds the collaborators stretching out liberally and sounding genuinely excited and inspired by each other".[2] Andres Tardio of HipHopDX called it "an album that is sure to add to his discography as another solid effort from Sir DZL".[4]

In mixed reviews, Matthew Fiander of PopMatters wrote: "Del's penchant for calling out lesser emcees, itself a deep tradition in hip-hop, slips into a bragging sameness a bit too often on Attractive Sin".[6] Jon Hadusek of Consequence resumed: "despite Parallel Thought's strong production, Attractive Sin's failings fall on Del. He can do better".[3] Ben Rag of Tiny Mix Tapes concluded: "Attractive Sin ultimately suffers from a lack of humor and humility (namely, pride)".[10]
