Welcome to JFK received generally positive reviews from music critics. Keith Nelson Jr. of HipHopDX said, "Welcome to JFK will forever shrouded in “What if’s,” even if Chinx’s management promises future projects. But, in the end, Chinx crafted a debut album strong enough to support springboarding him into creative areas we never did, and never will, see him reach."[6] David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "A well-rounded effort with plenty of promise, the posthumous Welcome to JFK is one bittersweet victory."[5]
