The album peaked at 189 on the Billboard 200 and 35 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums , their lowest peak position on either chart. Despite the album's lack of commercial success, the album was met with positive reviews.

It is the work of talented, but not inspired, imitators and will do if The Chronic and Doggystyle are sounding stale".
