AllMusic[1]
RapReviews3.5/10[2]

AllMusic's David Jeffries called it "an inoffensive kids album", but said it didn't have a bloated track listing, contained fresh production and found Romeo to be "a confident rapper with just enough bravado and just enough charisma", saying: "It's rare that the eight-year-old set and their parents can agree on an album, but Romeoland ends up being not only tolerable for parents, but actually enjoyable. That's rare in any genre, let alone the thuggish world of rap."[1] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews found Romeo to still be a terrible rapper with a "monotonous" and emotionless flow, poor attempts to display attitude by imitating both 50 Cent and the Terror Squad, and lackluster production that leave very few highlights throughout the record, saying: "Combined with a couple of terrible skits featuring creepy children's voices (think Lollipop Gang from Wizard of Oz if they were high on smack) and way too much banal music (not to mention terrible singing by Intyana) this album is not only an insult to eardrums everywhere, but entirely the wrong direction for Rome to be taking his life in."[2]
