Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic was also mixed towards the record, finding the hooks on the tracks not being on par with the beats and Chingy himself lacking substance in his rhymes. Joe Caramanica of "Entertainment Weekly" felt that Chingy paled in comparison to Nelly, despite having the same vocal tic as him, saying he has "only one gimmick, and while it charms on "Sample Dat Ass" and "One Call Away," most of "Jackpot" is as ephemeral as the winds blowing through the Arch." Robert Christgau cited "Chingy Jackpot" as a "choice cut", indicating a good song on "an album that isn't worth your time or money." Dom Passantino of Stylus Magazine gave a negative review, criticizing the production for having weak beats and found every other track "a failed second single." He also called out other critics' reviews for their so-called criticism of the album.
