 Kathy Iandoli of "HipHopDX" found the record too Wayne-heavy and doesn't give enough time for the new rappers to leave an impression, saying that "[T]he problem here is that unlike past posse introductory albums (see Wu-Tang Clan’s "Enter The 36 Chambers"), there isn’t a level playing field where everyone has an equal opportunity to become a star.The individual successes of Wayne, Drake, and Nicki alone make a compilation like this too late for them and too early for the rest.
