Writing for Clash, Shanté Collier-McDermott praised the mixtape's themes, stating: "Redd does well to continuously write raw relevant music. The mixtape is vulnerable and showcases a special level of artistry as he delves into several different pockets of love songs." In his review for Slant Magazine, Paul Attard writes that the mixtape was an improvement over Mansion Musik, but not "particularly noteworthy". HipHopDX's Ben Brutocao criticized the album's production and writing, concluding: "The constituent tracks are nearly all dispassionate, market-tested gruel. It’s as romantic as a Hallmark Valentine’s card, and sonically interesting as whatever is playing in Macy’s whenever you happen to stroll by." Track listing
