The song centers on Fabolous' willingness to trade all of his wealth and assets for a woman he loves and eventually proposes marriage to. Critical reception
In his review of Ghetto Fabolous, Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReviews wrote in regard to the production, "Clue strikes paydirt with a beat about as often as Big Daddy Kane drops new albums, and this LP is no exception. The one track he does that can truly be called hot is 'Trade it All' featuring Jagged Edge, but co-producer Duro is probably the one responsible for making it fuego." Concerning the remix, Juon commented, "kinda sad when Puffy outraps you". Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork praised Fabolous' show of confidence in the song, while writing of Jagged Edge's feature, "though the crew belts a chorus that could have been recorded by any of the R&B groups of the era." In 2013, Complex placed "Trade It All, Pt. 2" at number 18 on their list of "The 25 Best Song Sequels". Charts
