Really? Soulja's at eye level with butts wherever he goes? If you're seeking a circle of hell lower than the one in which 'Crank That' is ubiquitous, listen to his entire album." A critic from BET said that Soulja Boy should not have produced his own tracks or the whole album. The album has also been criticized for its lack of originality and its similarities to many of the songs from the album Notebook Paper by rapper Huey.
