Jason Ankeny of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "The hip-hop debut of Justin Warfield is built around old-school rhythms fleshed out with some intriguing samples, drawn largely from the canon of '60s psychedelic rock."[1] Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post said, "[Warfield's] raps, with their tired mix of criminal boasting, gratuitous weirdness and hip-hop cliches, leave almost no impression at all."[4]
In 2015, Fact placed it at number 43 on the "50 Best Trip-Hop Albums of All Time" list.[5]

Perhaps best labeled as psychedelic rap (mostly on account of its subject matter), My Field Trip to Planet 9 plays out like a hippie's take on golden-era hip-hop
