Andy Kellman of AllMusic said "After some snags, Omarion finally released his first Maybach Music Group album, Sex Playlist, in late 2014.

While it was issued only as a digital download, it deserved a full promotional push and physical release from Maybach parent label Atlantic, as it was one of the year's best sets of contemporary R&B.

True to its title, Sex Playlist is more slow jam-oriented than any of Omarion's Epic and EMI albums.
