AllMusic[1]

The record was a commercial disappointment, peaking at #99 on the Billboard 200 and #20 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and resulted in Lil Italy being dropped from the label. The album was also a critical disappointment, with Michael Gallucci of AllMusic rated the album two out of five stars, writing that it "has no personality, not one distinguishing mark to separate it from the rest of the [No Limit] army."[1]
