Upon its release, Nothin Personal received generally positive reviews from critics. Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX rated the mixtape 3 out 5 saying, "[it's] pretty clear that Cozz considers himself underrated amongst his rap peers, as he mentions that idea frequently" and "[only] a year removed from that solo debut, Cozz still has a lot of time to show and prove. Nothin Personal isn’t exactly perfection or an obvious contender for “2016 project of the year,” but it’s good enough to keep us from writing Cozz off, for now."[8] Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork Media gave the mixtape a 6.9 out of 10 saying "His new offering, Nothin Personal, is a low-concept stroll through the Crip-controlled blocks of Cozz’s youth."[9]
