HipHopDX señaló que "De vez en cuando, Free Crack 2 se adentra en terrenos extraños y desconocidos. En lugar de hacer lo que mejor sabe, de forma constante y consistente, se desvía hacia un tipo de rap genérico, raro y sin probar. Sin embargo, cuando está en su salsa, Bibby es tan amenazador como siempre, y Free Crack 2 ofrece su dosis justa de rap callejero oscuro e intrincado. El rapero de Chicago parece sentirse más cómodo rapeando junto a MCs de su estilo, como Lil Herb y Kevin Gates." ^{[ 8 ]}
