AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier rated the album three out of five stars.

He noted that "overall, with the girl-magnet looks, the trendy radio-ready production, and the limitless vocal hooks, Epic Records has all the makings of pop stardom in B2K [...] The album gets progressively long-winded, running through 17 songs in total, none of them overly distinct.

Of course, that's the nature of pop albums, particularly boy band albums, and B2K definitely follows in the grand tradition of its predecessors: Jagged Edge, Dru Hill, Blackstreet, and Bell Biv Devoe.

"[1] Rolling Stone's Adrian Zupp called B2K a "slick though less-than-distinctive recording.

He further wrote "B2K is kind of banal and plenty sugary and obviously targeted at the G-Rated market.
