Upon its release, The Trinity received generally positive reviews from music critics. Homer Johnsen of HipHopDX gave the album three out of five stars, saying "The EP as a whole also lacks the inter-verse group dynamic. For instance, the classic Noreaga track “Banned From TV” features Jadakiss and Styles P finishing each other's lines with intersecting verses. Displays of chemistry like that are nowhere to be found on The Trinity. Instead, it's just basic verse-for-verse rhyming. The LOX have proven that they can make good music in any decade, but on this EP their attempts to mold their sound into a more contemporary one, while still staying true to themselves, are noticeable. As stated before, LOX fans should be satisfied with The Trinity. It serves as a useful warm-up course for We Are The Streets 2, and is solid at best, considering it's their first release in 13 years."[4]
