Critical reception
Motolani Alake of Pulse Nigeria praised the Second Wave for showcasing Ruger’s confidence,growth,and deft songwriting,describing it as an improvement on his debut EP. He highlighted Ruger’s ability to find pockets in beats,his clever use of sexually charged lyrics,and the standout tracks "Dior","Useless",and "Snapchat",which he predicted could become hits with proper promotion. Alake rated the EP 9.0/10,labeling it a "Champion",and noted that "profanity never felt so religious." [5]
In a review for Afrocritik ,music critic Emmanuel Daraloye praised the deluxe edition of the Second Wave for its sharp production,well-rounded writing,and versatility in delivery. He highlighted tracks like "Dior," which he called Ruger’s "most well-wrought song," and noted Ruger’s skillful balance of sexually charged lyrics and self-acclamation. Daraloye concluded that while the EP reinforces Ruger’s strengths,it doesn’t significantly elevate his artistry,rating it 6.5/10. [6]
