Chiagoziem of Filterfree.ng highlighted D'banj's pioneering role in the global recognition of Afropop, comparing him to John the Baptist for paving the way for stars like Wizkid, Davido, and Mr Eazi.

While praising his comeback with the hit single "Emergency", the review pointed out that King Don Come carried an air of self-importance, with tracks like "Focus" and "It's Not a Lie" reflecting his need to assert his standing in the industry.

[12] Umar Hassan of YNaija emphasized D'banj’s ability to thrive off his brand rather than his music, pointing out that despite an underwhelming catalog in recent years, his star power remains potent.

Tracks like "It’s Not A Lie" and "Ntswempu" were celebrated for blending past success with modern production, while songs like "El Chapo" were acknowledged for pushing boundaries, even if the violent narrative seemed far-fetched.
