Critical reception



Cheo Hodari Coker of the Los Angeles Times called the album "chock-full of the high beat-per-minute jams and molasses-thick grooves that made the self-proclaimed 'J.R. Ewing' of the Seattle rap scene a multimillionaire in the first place". Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called it "stupid, funky" and highlighted songs "Jump on It" and "Bark Like You Want It". Nisid Hajari of Entertainment Weekly concluded: "unfortunately, too many cuts on Return of the Bumpasaurus reach back only one decade instead of two, settling for tiny perkiness that's more Cameo than George Clinton". J. D. Considine of The Baltimore Sun wrote that "most of the sounds here are decidedly second-hand, adding no fresh flavor to the bass-derived sound Mix-A-Lot has peddled from the start".
