[5] Andrew Beaujon of Blender felt that a discord was found between the production and Flip's lyrics, saying that "The beats are often dazzling, the rhymes less so.

[6] In his brief review for Rolling Stone, music editor Christian Hoard gave the album 3 out of possible five stars, saying "his deep-country drawl and casual braggadocio make for Southern rap that's hard not to like on tunes such as "Busta Clip" and the languorous "The Souf".

[9] Brian Miller of XXL wrote: "although tweaked, I Need Mine still includes some of the questionable material from its previous incarnation", and concluded with "buried among the upgraded tracks, the sore thumbs are not as prominent as before, but they hold Flip back from fully regaining his underground-legend status".
