AllMusic[3]

AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine commended the trio's vocal performance but felt they lacked charisma, personality and content to make them come across more than a poor imitation of TLC's CrazySexyCool, concluding that "too much of Azz Izz is comprised of mediocre material."[3] Vibe contributor Kara Manning also felt the group failed to deliver the "vocal ingenuity" to match that album, concluding that "[W]hile Mokenstef fall short of a fresher, sassier sensuality, Azz Izz isn't a bad first outing, just an uninspired one."[4]
