Jason Birchmeier from AllMusic gave the album a positive review, saying that "Joe's still putting it down for N.Y.C., repping himself as part thug, part player." Birchmeier also talked about how it is the age-old scenario—if Joe's not keepin' it real on the streets the grimy way, he's loungin' like a pimp and livin' large" and that "A few albums into his career, Joe has this approach down to a science." Overall the album was giving a rating of 3.5 stars by the critic.^[3]
