Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic wrote that the album continues the up-and-comer's rapid release streak of street-level rap, the project features an assortment of styles, from the corner rap of "Preach" to the crooning trap-ballad "Missing You." Misunderstood spices up JayDaYoungan's tried-and-true style with work from some of his closest contemporaries.[5]
