Music and lyrics

On “Intro”, Gucci Mane, Lil Yachty and Migos "effortlessly trade bars" and "encapsulate everything Quality Control is about." The album reflects much of rap "moving to funkier pastures after a decade of monolithic trap beats" such as "Like That", where Mustard "chops up some New Orleans bounce" with Miami's City Girls, the U.K.’s Stefflon Don and South Carolina’s Renni Rucci.

AllMusic

Control the Streets, Volume 2 received mixed reviews from critics. At Metacritic, the album received an average score of 58 based on 5 reviews.

Christopher Weingarten of Spin wrote that "it’s a mostly satisfying chance to hear the sound of contemporary rap evolving in real time." Cherise Johnson of HipHopDX wrote that "the 36-song project feels more like Quality Control on shuffle than a compilation — which is a good thing but misses the mark on creating an album in the purest sense."

On the other hand, Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork wrote that QC artists' raps are "completely unimaginative" and featuring artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Tee Grizzley and Gucci Mane outshine them. Danny Schwartz of Rolling Stone wrote that "while the QC headliners spend much of Vol. 2 spinning their wheels, the undercards provide the more compelling draw and show occasional flashes of brilliance." Fred Thomas of AllMusic wrote that "Vol. 2 of the series falls remarkably short of the high bar set by both the all star list of contributors and the victorious feel of its predecessor."

Commercial performance

Control the Streets, Volume 2 debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 with 63,000 album-equivalent units, becoming Quality Control's second US top 10 album.
