Mosi Reeves of Spin found the album to be 'a bit of a mess. Club was more critical, stating ' Camp is heavy with themes of racial expectations and cultural ostracism-big ideas that aren't always done justice by Glover's cartoonishly exaggerated, one-liner-laden flow.' Mojo stated, 'The identity-crisis themed Camp trumps through whip-smart intelligence, comic brio and bristling malign intent.' AllMusic editor David Jeffries commended Gambino for 'taking indie hip-hop to new levels' and called the album 'remarkable'. But it's more satisfying emotionally, because the autobiography reaches deep'.

Barry Nicolson of NME dubbed it 'the hip-hop album of the year' and commended Gambino's 'focus on being witty, heartfelt, honest and occasionally uproarious.' Steve Lepore of PopMatters found the album to be 'undoubtedly one of the best records of any genre to come out in 2011' and characterized it as 'a juxtaposition of mostly depressing, self-loathing rap mixed with some of the most enjoyable post- Graduation music.' In his consumer guide for MSN Music, Robert Christgau complimented its 'choral and orchestral movie music' and stated, 'it's less surefire than Culdesac.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 69, based on 27 reviews. Some catalogs are emblems of polished order and cohesion, but his is a rabbit hole of tangled genius and surprises well worth falling into.Camp received generally positive reviews from critics.
Some of Gambino's biggest hits, from the nimble display of "3005" and psychedelic soul of "Redbone" to the blistering raps of "This Is America," share little in common aesthetically, yet he executes each with aplomb. Ever since, genre descriptors have grown increasingly useless-he shrewdly treats genre like more of a suggestion than a limitation-but terms like hip-hop, R&B, funk, and indie electro-pop, all pushed to their experimental bounds, are good jumping-off points. But Childish Gambino's earliest mixtapes, from the late 2000s, are the reflections of a cultural sponge who simply desired to create on his own terms. Glover's first recordings-which he once said sounded like a “decrepit” version of Drake-predate the name change and never formally saw the light of day. While not exactly the kind of backstory many rappers and singers would readily admit to, it's a fitting place to start in order to understand his idiosyncratic approach to music, which manages to strike a delicate balance between artful and whimsical. Glover was born in 1983, at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California, but Childish Gambino came into existence, famously, with the aid of an online Wu-Tang Clan name generator, sometime around 2008, when he decided to use the moniker so that fans of his comedy wouldn’t think his music was just a bit.
Shirking definition is key to his allure, a superpower of sorts that keeps onlookers entertained, intrigued, and altogether baffled in turns. Then there's Childish Gambino, the Grammy-winning multi-hyphenate musician and producer who's not as easy to describe-but that's also kind of the point.
