[[Stylus Magazine]] awarded ''Can't Tell Me Nothing'' an A-A− rating and complimented it for expressing a high quality in comparison to most promotional mixtapes, claiming, "Even with a few duds, this might be the album of the year." On its general review of the mixtape, Stylus wrote, "''Can't Tell Me Nothing'' is one mixtape that should be legendary on its own, rather than piggybacking off its 'parent' album. It's as diverse as anything I've heard this year, both as intelligent and as stoopid as it wants to be (cf. "[[Us Placers]]" vs. "[[Throw Some D's]] (Remix)"), and gloriously so."<ref name=Stylus/> [[Rock music|Rock]] critic [[Robert Christgau]] dictated, "Get this while you can from the mixtape man no matter how much of it is destined for the real album."<ref name="Christgau"/> [[URB (magazine)|URB]] wrote, "Although the scatterbrained way Kanye chooses to present himself will continue to face scrutiny and divide opinion, any critic would be hard pressed to deny his talent. Whatever persona he adopts, whether relatively restrained or unsurprisingly in your face, the artist rarely fails to engage."<ref name=URB/> ''Can't Tell Me Nothing'' won "Mixtape of the Year" at the 2007 [[Vibe Awards]].<ref>{{cite web |author1=Shepherd, Julianne |author2=Fennessey, Sean | title=Vibe Award Special| url=http://www.vh1.com/shows/events/vibe_awards/vote.jhtml?voteID=mixtape | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605014135/http://www.vh1.com/shows/events/vibe_awards/vote.jhtml?voteID=mixtape | url-status=dead | archive-date=June 5, 2011 | work=[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]| publisher=Vibe Media Group, Inc | year=2007| accessdate=2007-11-19}}</ref>
