AllMusic's Andy Kellman felt that Pretty Ricky's sexual content paled in comparison to fellow artists like Usher and the Ying Yang Twins due to lackluster writing, concluding that, "[T]he group has more talent than it leads you to believe. Maybe they won't be so hungry for street credibility on album number two."[3] Azeem Ahmed of musicOMH also found the sex jams monotonous after the fourth track and came across as "vain attempts" to copy Usher and 112, but gave credit to "Grill 'Em" and "Chevy" for taking the group out of their usual soundscape to elevate their musical range and material, concluding that, "Had Bluestars demonstrated a desire beyond mere commercial success and focused on credibility this could have been an impressive piece of work. Instead it is a product that will command sales but will suffer the test of time."[4]
