AllMusic editor David Jeffries praised Wall for sticking with the formula he used for his debut album but felt his material can get stale over a lengthy runtime, concluding with, "Slice this worthy follow-up to The Peoples Champ in half and it's a different story, one that justifies Wall's place in the game."[2] Entertainment Weekly's Simon Vozick-Levinson commended the production for making Wall sound credible but criticized his simplistic "elementary rhymes" when put alongside the album's featured artists.[4] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews saw improvement in Wall's lyrical content and delivery but felt the production throughout the album weakened his charismatic personality.[6]
