Critical reception

In a review for OkayAfrica, they wrote that "The project highlights BNXN's adaptability, lyrical intelligence, and development as a whole. His 24-year-development old's as an artist and dedication to promoting his skills internationally are demonstrated on it. His expanding fan base has further solidified the musician's expanding prominence in the music business."[9]

In a review for Pulse Nigeria, Adebayo Adebiyi credited BNXN for "purposefully highlighting his accomplishments since the release of his debut tape in his second endeavour. In Bad Since '97, he asserts that he is an artist who possesses distinctive characteristics and audaciously compares the quality of his creativity to that of the tallest skyscraper in the world. The progression is nice despite the melody's predictability.[10] Emmanuel Daraloye of Afrocritik calls it a well sequenced story and a resurgence of artistry.
