Donnie Kwak of Vibe gave the album two and a half stars out of five, saying "...After lukewarm responses to his solo debut, "Firestarr", and last year's forgettable Onyx reunion, "Bacdafucup Part II", Fredro Starr tries his hand at more radio friendly step-alongs on "Don't Get Mad Get Money". Songs like "Finer Things", with its Ashanti-like chorus, and "California Girls", which mimics the Neptunes down to the falsetto crooning on the hook, expose the overtly pop direction. Starr's flow, however, remains polished (along with protege Icarus's). But after the production retreads and the tired threats and punch lines, "Don't Get Mad... doesn't get even." [6]
Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews gave the album seven stars out of ten, and stated "...Last time around Fredro Starr tried to do his own production, but this time he wisely passes the torch to cats like Porky and Kronic Tones. Never heard of them? You'll get to know the latter from his Just Blaze/Kanye West style work on "Pranksta," his melodic grit on "All Out" featuring Sticky Fingaz and X1, the smoothed out title track and the ominous "Reaper's Anthem." Porky's work on "California Girls" shines, but he also handles the bouncy flute of "Finer Things" nicely and still blasts it out for the streets on "Timberlands," Fredro's free advertisement for his favorite kicks." [7]
The one and only single, "California Girls" featuring Dirty Get-inz and Felisa Marisol was released on May 6, 2003. The video shows some kind of party near the pool.
