Sputnik Music wrote that the album fuses "a nostalgic and ethereal blend of cloud rap and vaporwave". The Chicago Reader wrote that the album is "outsider-artist genius. People on the Internet are initially drawn to Viper because of his blatant disregard for grammar, outrageously violent and drug-centric lyrics, and how sonically bizarre he is in general." You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack is Viper's most successful album—it became an internet meme due to the quality of its album cover and title, which has been noted as being "shockingly upfront". The title track is also particularly famous online for its lyrical content, production, and vocal delivery. Physical release and sequel The album was later remastered and released through the indie record label Animated Music in 2018 celebrating the album's 10th anniversary, with inserts signed by Viper. Viper also self-released a vinyl pressing of the album later in 2021, after promoting them on his Bandcamp as far back as 2018 without actually selling them. In 2022, Viper announced a sequel to You'll Cowards, entitled Ya'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack (You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack II). It was set to release on December 25th of 2022, however, its release date was pushed back to June 19th, 2023. Track listing On some original issues, this track is also labelled as "Parlayin'".
