Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that the album "balanced [JayDaYoungan's] aggressive, street-centric lyrics and bass-heavy production with some thoughtful introspection and moments incorporating acoustic guitar samples."[2] In a posthumous review, Steve Juon of RapReviews.com wrote, "It’s clear from Baby23 that JayDaYoungan had the ambition to succeed and a sound that would easily fit into whatever "Power" or "Hot" FM radio station is big in your city." He named "Try Me", "Nightmares", and "23 Island" as highlights, writing, "In songs like 'Nightmares' we see that JayDaYoungan letting Javorius shine though, admitting that the constant hate directed his way was keeping him up at night more than Kid Cudi.[3]
