Ahead of the mixtape's release, GRM Daily wrote "The CBO could have been the end of Digga D’s career in drill; it certainly would have been for many of his colleagues within the scene, as there are few rappers who can maintain and improve on interest from fans in their music after being censored by the police [...] However, Digga D was insistent he would not fade into obscurity, and instead begun furiously writing, crafting ways to get around the censorship of the police by coding his language, littering his verses with intricate double entendres, metaphors and similes so only those in the know would be able to decipher it".[13] Mixtape Madness wrote "the rising hit-maker has flown to the forefront of the game with his care-free attitude, comedic take, and top-notch artistry. Helping pave the lane for many Drill artists yet to arise, the promising talent has proved himself as a force to be reckoned with" and said the mixtape is "filled from start to finish with an assortment of sounds that supporters have been patiently waiting for".[14]
Accolades
The single "Woi" was nominated for "Song of the Year" at the MOBO Awards, and Complex ranked it at the top of their best songs of 2020 list.[15][16]
Commercial performance
Made in the Pyrex reached No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart and was noted for being the "highest charting project to date for a millennium-born UK rapper, and the highest-charting independent UK Drill project on the Official Chart so far."[17]
