InfoNubia's Sunkanmi Ogunsegha praised Olamide's rhyming skills, but criticized the album's songs for "sounding like freestyles that should probably stay on a mixtape.

[23] Writing for Nigerian Entertainment Today, Ayomide Tayo awarded the album 3 stars out of 5, describing it as "a less-inspired version of YBNL constructed by a rapper that is creatively low at the moment.

"[24] TooXclusive's Ogaga Sakpaide also granted the album 3 stars out of 5, saying it is "packed with many fillers like its predecessor" and that its "length reduces the wow factor of the entire body of work.

"[25] The Boiler Nation awarded the album 3.5 stars out of 5 and felt it was a bit "overrated" when compared to his previous record.
