Reviewing for AllMusic, Paul Simpson wrote, "Most of the subject matter on Glockoma 2 is nothing new for the rapper -- the lyrics are generally focused on hustling hard to make as much money as possible, with detailed verses about sex, gun violence, and drugs. However, he maintains a skillful, seemingly effortless rhyming style, and some of the production is highly inventive" [10] Eric Diep of HipHopDX wrote, "While Glock's sequel tape doesn't quite capture the spontaneous energy of his breakout predecessors, there's plenty of flex raps, pimp energy and Memphis rap signatures to get Huey's and Gus's jumping."
