Critical reception
Fred Thomas of AllMusic expressed a mixed response saying "Approaching 20 years in the game, Jeezy's grizzly voice and boldly evocative lyrics have lost none of their power, though the 18-song album finds him spending as much time encouraging listeners to rise to their potential as he does crafting vivid scenes of rugged street hustling".[7] Eric Diep of HipHopDx gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 stars and noted Jeezy's production selection on the album by saying "Overall, you get a bit of both worlds: Jeezy staying in his lane, but also pushing himself to rap over unlikely production". Diep then concluded in the review by saying "What fans are left with is an album that clearly shows heâs moving on from his decades-long hustle of music to focus on his many business moves."[8]
