Gregory McIntosh of Allmusic gave the album 2.5 stars out of a possible of five. In his review he stated "...For the most part, the beats are pretty ordinary, although the collective does pull out some clever hooks like on the anthem "Less Than a Playa," with its drowsy, lurching undercurrent of samples". [3]
The album was not heavily promoted, but it became a local success and managed to make it to No. 60 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
