Wasted Talent (album) - Misplaced Pages

Trent Clark of HipHopDX rated the album a 3.8 out of 5 stars, calling the album a "CPR for traditional NYC rap", also praising the body of work for its nolstagia-filled content by saying "...They don't make New York rappers like they used to and hearing Jones dominate a full-length project with accelerated lyricism is a throwback to the days of the American Diplomatic flag".

On May 14, 2018, while being interviewed on The Howard Stern Show, former Wack Pack member King Of All Blacks called the album the greatest hip-hop record of the past 15 years.
