In their review of Blood, Sweat & Tours, Legends Will Never Die highlights the WRLD Tour Mafia's resilience and growth, especially following the departure of founding member DaeMoney due to internal conflicts. The review notes that the album's opener, "Rehersal," features "heavy bells" and showcases the group's confidence, as they "flex they're still rockin' trap houses when they should be rockin' stages." Tracks like "Space Jamz" are praised for their "rattling bass & synthesizers," with lyrics emphasizing the group's strategic mindset, describing themselves as "the type that always has a plan."[citation needed]
The production throughout the album maintains Detroit's distinctive trap sound, with "Lawyers (Accountant)" described as a track that "maintains the Motor City's unique take on trap music making it thunder in the clubs." Lyrically, the group delves into themes of resilience and street life, with "Zombie Files" boasting about "sippin' ½-dead refusing to back down from a damn thing." However, the review points out that "Pizza" feels "a little unfinished after letting the beat ride out for the final minute despite the subject matter of staying up late counting money."[citation needed]
Overall, the review commends the group's ability to overcome challenges, stating that their "full-length debut overcomes all the highs & lows that come with the game proving that they all can very much hold it down without Slae." Each member's unique contributions are acknowledged, with the review noting that "the 5 remaining members still each have their own exciting characteristics."[4]
