People speculated that the reason for this was because fellow Nigerian singer Davido announced the release of his album Timeless for 31 March 2023.

The music video for "Ebelebe" was directed by Director K.[11] Esther Kalu of Premium Times expressed that while the album featured captivating vocals and familiar melodies, it largely played it safe, lacking the experimentation and versatility that defined Wande Coal's earlier works.

She felt that the album, though anticipated, fell short of expectations and stayed too much within Wande's comfort zone, leaving listeners wanting more.

[12] Emmanuel Esomnofu of The Native Magazine, acknowledged Wande Coal's enduring influence on Nigerian pop music but critiqued the album for relying too heavily on familiar melodies without pushing creative boundaries.

He praised tracks like "Kpe Paso" featuring Olamide for their strong execution but ultimately concluded that the album did not fully capture Wande Coal's genius, suggesting that it leaned more on comfort than innovation.

He concluded that while the album may not achieve the legendary status of Wande Coal's debut, it still solidifies his place as a significant figure in the Nigerian music industry.
