The album has been marked as his first official release with Polo Grounds Music alongside the distribution by RCA Records.

[6][7][8] The remix to "5 Star", which features guest vocals from fellow rappers Gucci Mane, Trina, and Nicki Minaj, was released for digital download on November 9, 2009.

[15] AllMusic's David Jeffries called it "a cocaine-talking, fishscale-dreaming beast of an album with no likeable characters and a bit of a schizophrenia problem.

The latter issue is easily overlooked and excused thanks to Gotti's love of being reckless, while the former problem will be embraced by fans of T.I., Young Jeezy, and other lawless snowmen."

He concluded that: "but the thrill of watching this hood star threaten to supernova is a real high, one that comes with no life-ruining side effects or any chance of Sosa's men storming your mansion.

"[16] Mark Lelinwalla of XXL wrote that: "Although Gotti gets lost on the shuffle on "Go Girl," which has him on one crowded track with Big K.R.I.T., Big Sean, Wale and Wiz Khalifa, overall, the album has a good balance of solo tracks and features, with the female-friendly "We Can Get It On" serving as a nice change-up to the hard hustling tone of the album.
