Critical reception

A writer for ''RapReviews'' gave praise to the production quality throughout the track listing, singling out Cool & Dre for their contributions that showcase their talents, and Joe for delivering on his lyrical content with hard-edged, introspective street bangers and romantic rap ballads despite getting a "little too commercial for his own good" in the middle portion of the album, concluding that "When all things are considered, Fat Joe did a nice job of balancing this album for different crowds and fanbases, if not a great job of doing so like he did on ''Don Cartagena'' and ''J.O.S.E.''." ''HipHopDX'' staff writer Mikeo said, "Fat Joe's ''Loyalty'' isn't anything more than average in the end. The hodge-podge of grimy, ghetto inspired tracks and commercially acceptable songs leave this album in staccato. Overall, as a product it's easy to recommend to the radio hungry Hip Hop fan, it's just that [Fat] Joe is not going to be remembered for the time he put into this release."
