Craig Seymour of Entertainment Weekly reviewed the album saying, "As nasty as Lil' Kim used to be, Trina boldly positions herself as the new queen of randy hip-hop tales in which sex is a contact sport played by rival genders. Spare Miami-bass beats provide the apt low end for her below-the-belt rhymes on Da Baddest Bitch. And a song about the pain of loving a violent, cash-obsessed thug shows that she's as skilled at speaking truths as she is at hawking fantasies."{{cite magazine | url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20185424,00.html | magazine=Entertainment Weekly | title=Music Review: Da Baddest Bitch | date=April 14, 2000 | access-date=March 23, 2011 | archive-date=October 21, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021025102/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20185424,00.html | url-status=dead }}

Rhapsody wrote about the album: "On her debut album she spits plenty of rah-rah about getting over on the fellas, but she does it exceptionally well. Hot flows and no-holds-barred rhymes make this some high-quality, dirty-ass freak rap."{{cite web| url=http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/trina/album/da-baddest-b***h-explicit | website=Rhapsody | title=Da Baddest B***h by Trina | date=January 2000 | access-date=August 23, 2024 | archive-date=January 13, 2016 | archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20160113012545/http://www.rhapsody.com/artist/trina/album/da-baddest-b***h-explicit}}

Billboard says, "Rap divadom has a new challenger. Trina makes her solo debut with the single, "Da Baddest Bitch," off the album of the same name. The 21-year-old rapper, who made her debut on Trick Daddy's party anthem "Nann," proudly carries the torch lit by female MCs like Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown before her, as an artist not afraid to use her feminine wiles to get what she wants. The Miami bass-influenced track, produced by the Black Mob, has Trina making some serious demands on her men in a slow and steady Florida flow. The hook borrows liberally from Michael Jackson's classic "Bad," as it asks, "Who's bad?" Trina shows that female MCs can boast just like the big boys of rap."[http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/miscellaneous-retail-retail-stores-not/4646290-1.html]{{dead link|date=December 2015}}
