Soren Baker of Los Angeles Times [11] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone [14] Cokemachineglow wrote: "so, Ludacris is still a distance from a definitive, unmatched hip hop statement, but I'm content with his glaciered pace and middling "a-a-a-a-b-b-b-b-etc" frame. It's just too much damn fun to pass up".[7] AllMusic 's Andy Kellman wrote: "Luda hasn't slipped into the complacent lap of luxury as deeply as some of his fellow platinum contemporaries, but it's evident that he's not as hungry as he once was".[6]
