Critical reception
Adeayo Adebiyi, a music reporter for Pulse Nigeria stated that "'Emeka Must Shine' shows Blaqbonez's impressive range, but it doesn't offer the best version of either side of him. While the project might not make for a compelling listen, it makes for an enjoyable one, and this, we can say, is the purpose of a Pop leaning album."
