David Jeffries of AllMusic rated the album three out of five stars: "Crime Mob wouldn't know a new idea if it flew into their cough syrup, but they're as on point as crunk comes."[3] Steve Juon of RapReviews rated it 3.5 points out of 10, panning the lyrical style as: "Say something really violent, rhyme it with something else, repeat ad nauseum." [sic][5] Robert Christgau rated the album as a "Dud", whose symbol (dud) indicates "a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought."[4]
