DJ Complejo of RapReviews gave the album a rating of 9 out of 10, writing, "On 'Ronald Dregan' Mac Dre was at the top of his lyrical game as well as showcasing just as well he had mastered his flow over the years," adding, "with albums like 'Ronald Dregan' Mac Dre was close to breaking out of his position as a local legend, and with good reason."[7]

David Jeffries of AllMusic said of the album, "Plenty of limited comedy rap acts with cults built around them have run out of steam long before they ran out of albums. Ronald Dregan is sleazy, unpretentious proof that Mac Dre isn't one of them. His albums all sound the same, and for once, that's a good thing."[6]
