AllMusic editor Jason Birchmeier rated the album three out of five stars. He noted that with Montell Jordan, the singer "finally made an album for himself rather than for his fans [...] This is a more introspective and sincere album than Jordan's past few efforts, justifying its eponymous title and worthy of the respect the vocalist hasn't been able to earn throughout his career. There aren't any big-name collaborations, and Jordan thankfully doesn't delve into pop-rap like he did on past albums in an effort to score crossover success."[1] Entertainment Weekly's Tom Sinclair found that its "it’s hard to maintain cred in two different worlds, but in his self-titled album, Cali coolster Montell Jordan shifts from post-Isley Brothers love-man slow jams to boastful hip-hop joints with convincing ease."[2]
