[2] AllMusic editor David Jeffries noticed the similarities to fellow St. Louis rappers Nelly and Chingy but found the album to be styled like "an LL Cool J release for the '80s."

"[3] Entertainment Weekly's Michael Endelman commended Jibbs for displaying potential as a rapper but felt that he spends "most of the disc trying out too many different styles — from slow-rolling Houston grooves to Nelly-style pop-rap — instead of defining a sound of his own.

"[4] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews found his performance to be average with rhymes that were "acceptable albeit entirely generic and run of the mill."

You could easily substitute any one of a dozen rappers in or outside St. Louis over these tracks and get the same result - anybody from Ali to Cool Breeze to Bubba Sparxxx.
