gave the album two and a half stars out of five, saying "No dirty, C-Murder-like album this time out as the rapper offers his prom song 2013 nomination with the sweet and sugary "Realest," and speaking of high school, "Big" comes on with a Freshman-caliber marching band for its backbeat and offers motivational lyrics to support the home team's annual highlight reel. Hopefully, the coach and his selection committee don't stick around for the slice of life called "Mine" ("I'll probably take her home, and let her get her slurp on"), or the slippery strip club track "Too Much," where Webbie discovers his chosen dancer does "take out" ("Playin' hard to get, but I'm gonna get in there and do time/The lady got her own hotel, she don't need mine"), but these gutter-minded songs are the easy and effortless highlights of the effort, coming off as much more natural than the plays for radio. Trim away the fat and there's a lean, and quite mean, mixtape inside this scattershot album."
