The Baltimore Sun called the album "derivative, but fun," writing that "unlike a lot of 'ragamuffin' rap, Daddy Freddy's work tends to play down the reggae-based style's impenetrable patois and sing-song cadences."[10] The Calgary Herald noted that "Freddy is a ragamuffin powerhouse early on, blending the street-wise sounds of urban America with the woeful angst of the Kingston slums."[9] The Dayton Daily News wrote that "there's a grittiness on Stress, not unlike that found on hard-core urban American raps."[11]
