HotNewHipHop noted the controversy of the previous release and asked its readers how they felt about album including the presence of guest artists Chief Keef and Lil Yachty.[4]
The Needle Drop sharply criticized the album, saying its "core content... sucks." Reviewer Anthony Fantano pointed to "On the Floor" as the only "listenable" song in an album that is "the definition of mid."[5]
