Critical reception
The New York Times wrote that the songs "combine humor and raw rhythmic power with Ms. Shante's sturdy sense of identity ... [they] proves she's tougher and wittier than the competition." Trouser Press thought that "Shanté has a cute, coy voice that takes on an authoritative edge when she kicks into high gear." The Spin Alternative Record Guide called Bad Sister "a true hip-hop masterpiece" and a "definitive Cold Chillin' album." USA Today praised the "hilarious, sometimes risque stories."
