Susan Kim of RapReviews wrote: "it's not a DPG classic, but the skills that are present and the guest appearances made still make it worthwhile".[4] Omar Burgess of HipHopDX also nodded to the DPG discography, saying: "it's not a must-have, but it's a respectable addition to their distinguished catalogue".[3]AllMusic's Matt Rinaldi called the album "a bonafide gangsta extravaganza on wax".[1]
