Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that "Heist of the Century is packed with streetworthy jeep-jams and mind-elevating lyrics, courtesy of some of hip-hop's brightest MC's." Marcus Reeves of The Source thought that most tracks on the album "drown in mid-tempo drums laced with nocturnal sound loops". He noted the rapper's "grim imagery" on some of the tracks, but thought that his delivery was average.
