Critical reception

Professional ratings
Review scores
Source	Rating
Clash	6/10^[10]

Writing for Clash , Robin Murray felt that the album "leans on his trademark brand without adding anything new to the overall picture" and it indeed "struggles to maintain a momentum over its 17 tracks", but later clarified that "it's not a failure".^[10] On a negative review, Tim Hoffman of Riff Magazine compared the weaknesses that he felt were present in the album to that of American rapper Moneybagg Yo's chart-topping fourth studio album, A Gangsta's Pain , opining that it "delivers what is effectively two or three good songs that are then replicated to pad the runtime" and it "delivers on quality guest features like E-40 and Project Pat while delivering a handful of decent beats to carry some of the songs".^[11]
