From retrospective reviews, Alex Henderson of AllMusic stated the WC and DJ Aladdin showed some potential on its first and only album" declaring the album "decent if uneven" specifically praising "How Ya Livin'" and "That's Why They Do It" as "riveting" while "Pay Ya Dues" made "a meaningful statement about rappers who get ahead without paying dues, but is marred by a homophobic reference."[1]
