M$ney received a mixed-to-positive reception, with critics broadly praising its rich production while noting a decline in lyrical ambition compared to Asake's earlier work. On M$ney, Asake frames wealth through spirituality and gratitude, weaving Islamic devotions, Yoruba proverbs and divine supplications across a sonic palette drawing from Fújì, Amapiano, gospel and jazz. Chibuzo Emmanuel of The Native observed that M$ney is simultaneously Asake's most sonically polished project and one of his least lyrically substantial, with Magicsticks' production frequently elevating the writing into a sensorially dense experience.^[8] Priya Okafor of Shatter the Standards characterised the record as àdúrà pop noting that the better music stays closest to home in Asake's collaborations with Magicsticks. ^[11] Adeayo Adebiyi of Pulse Nigeria described it as Asake's performance of wealth, marked by sublime melodies and fantastically produced records, even if he spends a bulk of the album proving he doesn't have to try.^[10]
