Motolani Alake of Pulse Nigeria described the album as Phyno's exercise in grown topics around gratitude, his journey, love, loss, braggadocio and more. Also noting that the album is too long at 16 tracks and 55 minutes, and that "Paracetamol", "Love Me Right" and "Bia" were not needed. The album was rated 6.1/10 at the end.
