Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! stated "Moka's lo-fi production is jazzy hip-hop, light on bass, his flow is laidback and chilled out, and his hooks are primarily self-sung, making for a mellow mood" and named "To Keep Us Rollin" as the highlight of the album.[13]
Kamir Hiam of The Find claimed "Airport 6 could be one of his best works yet. At the very least, this LP shoots in to my top 10 rap releases of the year."[14]
Chi Chi Talken of Scratched Vinyl said "Moka's production is incredibly warm and intimate, while also retaining a certain playfulness that makes the album immediately accessible. On top of this great production work, Moka delivers some of his best lyrical work as well."[12]
