The album received positive reviews from critics. In a review, Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called the project "diverse, yet consistent" stating that "Slim Dias' album goes through many influenced phases from UGK to Three 6 Mafia, to Gucci Mane or Trina, although the album strays away at times. "[5] HipHopDX critic Narshima Chintaluri described the record as "simply a lovechild of new southern hip hop coming together in a beautiful train wreck over brilliant production", stating "Dias must prove he can maintain this allure alongside his more successful contemporaries."[2]
Brian Duricy of PopMatters described the record as "An attempt at finding a sound that works, only to be caught completely all over the place" stating that "the production is the secret nucleus of the album."[4] AllHipHop's Briana Younger wrote that ""Rose Gold Necklace" feels like a break from life, the soundtrack to a mindless good time," and adding that "Dias is tactful in discerning where and when he can get away with letting the instrumental ride and when he needs to rise to the occasion."[3] .
