Critical reception Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 1] RapReviews 4.5/10[ 2]
AllMusic 's David Jeffries said that despite the over-bloated track list containing "redundant filler", he praised Unk's delivery and catchy rhymes and Big Oomp overseeing the record, concluding that: "Seeing how Beat'n Down Yo Block is such a loud, hedonistic, and thuggish good time, that's a fair tradeoff".[ 1] Young Jeezy and Yung Joc .[ 2]
