Yeung of AllMusic gave a positive review,stating "The songs pop,the production is memorable,and the guests weave effortlessly into their respective tracks without detracting from Gucci's signature delivery". [9] Evan Rytlewski of Pitchfork said,"Between this spring's cold,uncompromising Droptopwop and the personable crossover stab of Mr. Davis,Gucci Mane is making his most engaging music since his Trap Back/Trap God resurgence". [14] Scott Glaysher of XXL stated,"Mr. Davis is stripped-down,honest and straight to the point". [15] Ural Garrett of HipHopDX wrote:"The album doesn't move the needle for Guwop's creative progression forward and at times sounds as if it doesn't even aspire to.
