| Afrocritik | 6/10 [7] |
Afrocritik's Abioye Damilare Samson praised TZA as "a commendable project" that stayed true to Kizz Daniel's signature style, with infectious rhythms and a blend of jùjú melodies and groovy production." It rescued a 6/10 rating. Patrick Ezema of the Culture Custodian felt that "while TZA offered some catchy melodies typical of Kizz Daniel, it fell short in lyricism and cohesion, with a "toxic brand of anti-love" in its themes and an overall lack of depth to justify its release."
