Kyle Eustice of HipHopDX rated Gate 13 a 4.1 out of five, noting AmpLive's production, which "leans toward more traditional soul and funk-infused beats while consistently pumping out his signature deep, hard-hitting bass" and characterizes the collaboration as "an intrinsically layered, 17-track Hip Hop gumbo".[1] Writing for Pitchfork, Phillip Mlynar rated this release a 7.4 out of ten; explaining the collaborative nature of the release, he sums up that "Del may be the MC in this duo, but Amp Live's production speaks just as loudly as the rhymes" and opining that "the album is full of inspired hip-hop production".[2]
