Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that Warren G "attempts to regulate his chart position with superstar cameos; but even Snoop Dogg, Eve, and Memphis Bleek can’t bring enough edge."{{Cite web|url=https://ew.com/article/1999/10/15/i-want-it-all/|title=I Want It All|website=EW.com}}

AllMusic thought that "though I Want It All occasionally skirts the borders of hip-hop lite, it's chocked with quality mid-tempo productions and excellent rapping."
