DJ First Class of Revolt compared the mixtape to French Montana's previous projects, stating that it "is as solid as solid can be".[11] Quincy of Ratings Game Music gave the mixtape a rating of a D; he praised the different patterns and each featured artist's frequency, opining that Montana "knows how to play orchestrator really well" and that "he channels his old self, he goes toe to toe with true lyricists, and he actually blesses us with hooks that will probably turn clubs upside down".[12]
