"[13] In a less enthusiastic review, Nigerian Entertainment Today's Ayomide Tayo said the album is "nothing more than a product of the times we live in" and characterized it as a "pop driven LP aimed at pleasing a demography that loves beats and dance, at the expense of lyrics".

[14] A writer for Jaguda, who goes by Ogagus, criticized Desire for being a "jam-packed project with very shallow and monotonous club and radio friendly cuts which will hold grounds individually but as a body of work, it falls flat on its face.

"[15] Reviewing for YNaija, Wilfred Okiche called the album "mediocre" and said majority of the artists on the project "cannot see past their hunger for fame and today’s club banger".
