David Jeffries of allmusic.com called the album a "fist-pumping song cycle of triumph in the hood". He called the five-star lineup of T-Pain, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, and Rick Ross on "All I Do Is Win" the gold medal track, with the Young Jeezy showcase "Put Your Hands Up" winning the silver. He stated Bun B
's help on the song "Rockin’ All My Chains On" helps score the bronze, giving the track a slight edge over the hood reggae number “Killing Me,” which partners Busta Rhymes
with Jamaican stars Buju Banton
and Bounty Killer
. Through intros and shout-outs, Khaled puts more of himself into this personal, story-telling album, and while this supposedly troubled effort seems complete and sound, for the most part. He disliked the closing song "Rep My City" saying that it "is the least satisfying number and is best thought of as a bonus track". In conclusion he said "(the album) is as satisfying as his other mega-star-studded albums, with the added benefit of being more cohesive and significantly more purposeful.
Edwin Ortiz of hiphopdx.com prasied the single Fed Up
with an all-star lineup and a catchy Hook by Usher. But said the song "On my Way" got a bit tiring with eight different artists on the track. He also disliked the songs "Bring the Money Out" and "Rockin all my Chains". Talking about "Rockin all my Chains" he stated that it’s almost downright unfair to put Birdman and Soulja Boy on the same song as Bun B. He applauded Nas
' performance in "Victory". In conclusion he said that "We may look back on DJ Khaled’s legacy in Hip Hop and see some shining moments. However, Victory as a whole product will certainly not be one of them."
