When explaining its title, Foxx identified herself as a king due to her understanding of the word meaning "the highest supreme being".

[3] Saying that female rappers receive little respect,[1] she wanted to use the title "king" to place herself on a similar platform with men.

[3] Vibe's Mikey Fresh wrote that Foxx adopts a braggadocio attitude for "Cdis", and identified "Selfies" as suited for clubs and radio airplay.

[7] In "Young N Thuggin", which XXL's Eric Diep described as a "heavy-hitting banger",[8] Foxx raps about helping her boyfriend recover after being released from prison.

Diep praised the mixtape as showcasing Foxx's versatility,[2] and Ebony's Nadeska Alexis wrote it proved the rapper was "a truly talented lyricist and showman".

"[4] Despite praising Foxx as having "the flow, beat selection and lyrics to be taken serious", Fresh criticized the final tracks; specifically, "Buy Her What She Want" and "Don't Trust Em".

Diep felt that her "animated and fluid flow" throughout the mixtape was similar to Lil' Kim,[2] who mentored Foxx.

Garvey and Case equated Foxx's delivery on "Cdis" and "Buy Her What She Want" as similar to Future's 2013 song "Karate Chop".

Case described "Buy Her What She Want" as initially sounding like "another 'Karate Chop' stutter-fest", but felt one of Foxx's verses was more original and had an "off-the-cuff fluidity".
