[6] The revision will include the addition of the tracks "Shook" and "Everything (Remix)" featuring Lil Uzi Vert and Chance the Rapper, which were previously released, along with 8 other songs.

"[15] Patrick Lyons of HotNewHipHop stated that "G Herbo's shown promise throughout his career, and "Humble Beast" feels like a culmination of sorts", praising the album's lyricism: "Herbo is speaking directly to us, sounding as confident and classic as his childhood idols Jay-Z and Nas, telling a story that he's known is important and necessary all along.

His latest album recalls the best records of the ’00s graced with a singular kind of songwriting that sounds inarguably like the present", praising the album's lyricism: "Humble Beast feels musically bifurcated between its street and soul segments; a street-soul production synthesis could give his sound some cohesion, and giving his reflective moments a contemporary canvas could only increase their urgency.

"[17] Preezy of XXL stated that "Humble Beast is an exemplary debut that ranks among the best of the year, exceeds expectations and puts G Herbo in position to claim his stake as the prince of Chi-Town street rap.

"[18] Humble Beast debuted at number 21 on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 20,000 album-equivalent units (including 14,000 copies as pure album sales) in its first week.
