 Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album two and a half stars out of five, saying "Given the fact that most of "Home Invasion" was recorded during and after the "Cop Killer" media firestorm, it comes as no surprise that the album is an uneven, muddled affair, not the clean, focused attack of "O.G.Original Gangster"".On June 1, 1993, the album was certified gold by Recording Industry Association of America.
