The Final Adventure was met with positive reviews from three mainstream publications, receiving an average four-out-of-five score. AllMusic's David Jeffries praised the album, declaring: "it's what they've done so well since Murs 3:16, and if this really is The Final Adventure, it is what Murs would call 'a damn shame'".[1] Andres Tardio of HipHopDX noted: "it's clear that Murs and 9th Wonder had a task here: finishing their saga as strongly as they started it. With The Final Adventure, the duo does just that, crafting an album that speaks on a variety of topics over soulful instrumentation, much like on 3:16".[2] Christopher Minaya of XXL stated: "for the curtain call to their majestic run of collaborative LPs, Murs and 9th Wonder assemble the congruous The Final Adventure, which underlines Murs' words with 9th's music as harmoniously as ever before".[3]
