Rich Boy (album)

The album was supported by Rich Boy's smash hit debut single, "Throw Some D's" produced by and featuring Polow da Don, which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100.

[2] Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly gave praise to Rich's vocal delivery and Polow's "intricate, varied, and unfailingly catchy instrumentals" for masking the "occasional lapses into generic macho posturing" throughout the lyrics.

[6] Jonathan Ringen of Rolling Stone noted how the record follows the Young Jeezy template ("a hypnotic flow, vivid details, synth-soaked beats") but with a more varied list of topics.

"[7] AllMusic's Andy Kellman commended Rich's unique vocalization and the production, highlighting Brian Kidd's contribution on "Get to Poppin'", but concluded that the album wears thin with stagnant beats and "uninspired variations on the rampant materialism done so effectively on "Throw Some D's.

""[5] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews criticized Rich's "monotonous thuggery delivered with an excessively thick accent" and Polow's production having a "night and day" unevenness throughout the record.
