The album's third and final single "Look Back at Me" featuring Killer Mike, which was produced by Hard Hat Productions, became a regional hit club record and accompanied by a music video.
[2] In an interview with Billboard, Slip-N-Slide Records President Ted Lucas stated, "The songs selected for the album were tracks ladies needed to hear-about maturing and keeping focus [...] Her fans know she's rough and they like that.
"[3] In an interview with Rajul Punjabi, Trina described the album's direction as experimental, noting her vocal additions to "Single Again" and the techno-production on "Crash My Party" as prime examples.
[2] Trina revealed that the energy surrounding the album is different because it marks her first release since parting ways with longtime boyfriend, American rapper Lil Wayne, forcing her view through a different perspective.
[5] Trina's lyrics aren't mind blowing but they focuses on her strengths ("Look Back at Me" is more graphic than most actual pornography) and down-plays her weaknesses; her voice has improved noticeably as well.
[5] "I Got a Bottle" is built on a fairly obvious jack of "SexyBack" and "Single Again" makes no effort to pretend that isn't trying to replicate the Timbaland sound.
[6] Missy Elliott joins Trina on the underrated track "I Got a Bottle" produced by Jay Roc & Big Tom (Hard Hat Productions) to pay homage to their feminine curves.
[6] Even the husky-voiced Rick Ross gets into the action as Gorilla Tek provides a nostalgic beat for "Hot Commodity," which has Trina in the mood to reference "La-Di-Da-Di" in the chorus.
[16] Still da Baddest garnered generally positive reviews from critics, most of whom favored Trina's signature raunchy rap styling over a softer-side.
[17] Jeffries continued his review by noting "I Got a Thing for You" and "Wish I Never Met You" as the album's main flaws, referencing them as "manufactured 'Here We Go' clones" dragging down what would otherwise be an entirely successful full-length.
[17] Jeffries ends his review by stating "It's the abundance of these brassy, 'love me or hate me' moments that make Still Da Baddest a step in the right direction and one of her better efforts, even with the woefully uninspired ballads.
"[6] Seifer went on to compliment Trina's softer side on the Keyshia Cole-assisted "I Got A Thang For You," later showing great appreciation on the album's tracks that featured additional rappers and vocalists.
[5] Thornton went on to negatively state that the album is ultimately forgettable since much of her work borrows from recent Pop and Hip Hop successes by other artists, even though it was never intended to be an artsy, avant-garde offering for hipsters so the formulaic approach isn't as much of a problem as it might seem.
[5] Aisha Johnson of AllHipHop noted that the album lacks any true substance and fails to go beyond her sexually aggressive commentary.
[18] Praising Trinas fiery southern flow alongside guest appearances from Missy, Keyshia Cole, and Rick Ross to help bring forth some creative synergy, Johnson felt the LP doesn't compare to the rappers debut Da Baddest B***h.[18] Awarding Trina with the title of "Queen Victoria of Rap," Evelyn McDonnell of VIBE praised the album for proving Trina to not be a "one trick pony," favoring standout tracks like "Clear It Out," "Single Again, "Look Back At Me," and "Wish I Never Met You.
"[21] Although she never rebutted to Khia's remarks, Trina was asked in an interview by Rajul Punjabi about the lack of female MC's in the industry at the moment, stating: I think I’d go hard either way.
