Critical reception



Soren Baker, writing for Chicago Tribune, said that "Young Bleed subtly and gently mocks the stereotype of laid-back Southerners." The journalist highlighted "thick bass lines", "rapid drum loops", and Young Bleed's vocal performance. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic thought my" target="_blank">My Balls and my" target="_blank">My Word was a "conventional late-'90s gangsta record", criticizing it for its lack of originality. Steve Juon of RapReviews viewed it as the label's compilation album, but believed that Young Bleed "elevates it substantially". Similarly, Elliott Wilson of The Source magazine thought it was "more a family affair than a solo release", but believed that the rapper "fails to carry the weight without his friends". He commended the production, noting "slinky basslines, swirling keyboards and eerie strings".
