[14] Joey Akan of Pulse Nigeria described According to X as "all firepower and no deep hit", highlighting its star-studded lineup and focus on dance tracks but critiquing its lack of lyrical depth and variety.

While tracks like "Cash Only" stood out, the 21-track album was ultimately called "a long and increasingly boring dance journey", earning a rating of 3/5 for being "worth checking out".
