Exclaim! wrote that "undoubtedly the intention was to shock, but the mediocre skills and pedestrian beats instead induce rolling of the eyes." [3] Entertainment Weekly thought that "the veteran Queens rapper again spits out the raunchiest raps north of Miami’s 2 Live Crew." [1]

USA Today listed Anakonda as the fifth worst R&B album of 2001, writing: "The explicit rapper's raunchy antics used to make you laugh or cringe. But at this point, there are no surprises left." [9]
