AllMusic[3]

AllMusic criticized that the material on Baby on Baby 2 "begins to feel one-dimensional and interchangeable." and also concluded "As ever, the songs here are energetic and fun, but ultimately feel a little disposable, with DaBaby's work becoming more and more like a particular and brawny mood than any specific creative statement."[3]

Background and promotion

In July 2022, DaBaby was interviewed by Canadian-American YouTube channel Nelk's Full Send Podcast, in which he revealed the title of the album and announced an initial release for the beginning of the next month, which did not happen for unknown reasons.[4] On September 22, 2022, he shared its cover art and release date for the following day.[5]

Commercial performance

The album was projected to earn significantly less units in its first week than DaBaby's previous album Blame It on Baby (2020), with both DaBaby himself and rapper Meek Mill claiming that DaBaby had been "blackballed".[6]

Baby on Baby 2 debuted at number 34 on the US Billboard 200 chart with around 17,000 album equivalent units.[7]
