As an artist, you want to wake up every day and feel like you're doing something people don't think you can do. Now I feel like I've been put in that position again, where it's more doubt than expectancy. The doubt is what fuels me, so to speak. I've been real fortunate where I have great people around me. Everybody wants to freakin' work with me – not that everybody didn't [before], but it's different because I didn't work with a lot of people. Coming into this situation, it's beautiful.

Upon its release, 5.0 received generally mixed reviews from most music critics.{{cite web |url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/50/nelly|title=5.0 reviews at Metacritic.com |work=Metacritic |access-date=November 30, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101120045023/http://www.metacritic.com/music/50 |archive-date=November 20, 2010 |url-status=live }} At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 52, based on nine reviews, which indicates "mixed or average reviews".

Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly gave 5.0 a B rating and commented that "on 5.0 Nelly makes a reasonably convincing case that he can keep the momentum going. His lyrics are vacuous as ever, but those hooks sure are sticky."

Mariel Concepcion from Billboard said that on "5.0, the rapper proves he still knows what it takes to make a solid, well-rounded album." Concepcion concluded her review by saying that "The 36-year-old artist gives fans the stuff they fell in love with 10 years ago on debut Country Grammar — and with a new pop-driven sound, he demonstrates he hasn't lost a beat."{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/magazine/reviews/albums/e3i330f0df61361306f0c57c2869515be60 |title=5.0 |work=Billboard.biz |access-date=November 30, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121002051612/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/magazine/reviews/albums/e3i330f0df61361306f0c57c2869515be60 |archive-date=October 2, 2012 |url-status=live }}

Ken Capobianco from The Boston Globe said that "Nelly has recruited an all-star supporting cast and emerged with a tuneful mainstream effort that should yield a number of hits." Capobianco said that "Just a Dream" "captures the design of many of these cuts: Hooks are prominent while Nelly's patented tricky flow is often smoothed out." He also praised songs like "Move That Body", "Don't It Feel Good" and "1000 Stacks".{{cite web |url=http://www.boston.com/ae/music/cd_reviews/articles/2010/11/15/nelly_50/ |title=Nelly, '5.0' – The Boston Globe |work=Boston Globe |date=November 15, 2010 |access-date=November 30, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102151804/http://www.boston.com/ae/music/cd_reviews/articles/2010/11/15/nelly_50/ |archive-date=November 2, 2012 |url-status=live }}

Chuck Eddy from Rolling Stone gave the album two and a half stars (out of five). He said that Nelly "essays a few fashionably global-sounding electro-club tracks, [...] and at least four numbers where he swipes guys' girlfriends. Keri Hilson and Kelly Rowland help him stretch out; Plies, Yo Gotti and T.I. add muscle." Eddy said that the "strut swings most distinctively in "1000 Stacks", where a Biggie sample inspires Nelly to approximate the country grammar he came up on."

Jesse Cataldo from Slant Magazine gave the album a rating of two stars (out of five). Cataldo said that 5.0 is "never overtly awful, but it definitely sinks into the zone of mediocrity occupied by so many mainstream rap albums, where they sit like dishes moldering beneath dirty water." Cataldo said that Nelly has lost his "charm and playfulness he began with" on the albums following Country Grammar. He felt that what is left is "a murky stew of withered affections and grasps at modernity, from siren effects to processed horns and Auto-Tune breakdowns." Cataldo said that the album contains "A collection of collaborations with low-wattage names and also-rans, it basically indicates that even if Nelly is still trying (which he doesn't seem to be), he hasn't sustained the credibility to achieve a plausible comeback."

Andy Kellman from AllMusic also gave the album two stars (out of five). Kellman said that "nothing on the rapper’s sixth studio album encourages repeated listening". He felt that "Nelly’s exuberance often sounds feigned", the "rallying choruses are not effective, and he’s short on ideas". Kellman concluded his review by saying that 5.0 is "by a considerable margin, Nelly’s least essential release to date".

5.0 debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200, selling 63,000 copies in its first week in the United States.{{Cite news|url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/69745/week-ending-nov-21-2010-a-10-year-old-at-2/|title=Week Ending Nov. 21, 2010: A 10-Year-Old At #2|date=November 24, 2010|publisher=Paul Grein, Chart Watch|access-date=November 24, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101129012046/http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/69745/week-ending-nov-21-2010-a-10-year-old-at-2/|archive-date=November 29, 2010|url-status=live}} It also entered at number 1 on the Billboard's Top Rap Albums and number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
