Andy Kellman of AllMusic expressed a mixed response describing the album as a "routine follow up to Trap or Die 3", stating "Jeezy doesn't deviate from his standard set of themes. He's still rhyming about his rise from the bottom, the product he's shifting, and all the disposable wealth and women that have come with it, all the while castigating would-be detractors and snitches".[8]

Pressure debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 with 72,000 album-equivalent units, of which 54,000 were pure album sales.[9] It is Jeezy's ninth consecutive US top 10 album since 2005.[9]
