IV received mixed reviews from critics, with AllMusic giving it a strongly negative review.
Rolling Stone - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - 'Cypress Hill's most bangin' LP since their 1991 debut.… Cypress Hill still name-check firearms, threaten rivals and smoke more weed than a congregation of Rastas. But the obsessions are means to an end.'[10]
The Wire - '…they come out fighting. Red eyed, rabid and slobbering with skunk-fueled menace.… gangsta rap's future as a musical force is secure.'[11]
Rap Pages - 4 (out of 5) - 'Like previous albums…IV's fabulous formula of speakerphone tones by B-Real and sporadic comments by Sen Dog resembles 'How I Could Just Kill A Man'.'[12]
