AllMusic[1]
RapReviews[2]

AllMusic editor John Bush highlighted Budden's "Pump It Up", Trick's "Represent" and Ludacris' "Act a Fool" as standout tracks but found Tyrese's offering "weaker [even] than his solo work for J Records."[1] Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews gave praise to the overall Dirty South production throughout the first two-thirds of the album, highlighting Budden and Dead Prez's contributions for standing out amongst them, but was mixed on the final third having unknown artists on the last three tracks, concluding that, "Given that's a known fact about rap soundtracks, it's ironic that by using a somewhat less diverse mix 2 Fast 2 Furious actually achieves and in some ways ECLIPSES the success of its predecessor. Whether the movie can do the same without Vin Diesel is up to the audience of moviegoers, but hip-hop and Dirty South fans alike should be happy with the soundtrack."[2]
