Critical reception
AllMusic's Jason Birchmeier wrote: "Beyond the potent productions, handful of standout songs, and pair of female rappers, Hated on Mostly frankly isn't all that interesting. It's a more mature and commercial album than the group's self-titled 2004 debut, certainly, but it still leaves plenty of room for growth." Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews commended the album's production but was critical of the group's lyrical content, concluding that: "Mostly I don't want to hate on Crime Mob but the lack of depth to anything they have to say leaves me very little choice, so buyers beware and know what you're getting into before you end up mostly hating throwing your money down the drain."
