Michael Gallucci from AllMusic wrote that Make It Hot "is virtually a textbook primer on Elliott's stylistic touch and influence on end-of-the-millennium hip-hop (she raps on, writes songs for, produces, and executive produces Make It Hot – and it's on her custom label). Along with pal Timbaland, Elliott transforms young Nicole's somewhat standard bow into a stuttering slab of post-rap R&B that's as sleekly modern as it is customarily cold." Entertainment Weekly journalist Rob Brunner gave the album a B rating and concluded: "Even if the distinctive Missy-Timbaland sound is getting a little old, Hot proves the formula hasn’t gone cold just yet."

Make It Hot reached number forty-two on the US Billboard 200 and number nineteen on the R&B album chart.[http://www.billboard.com/charts/1998-11-07/billboard-200 Make It Hot (The Billboard 200 chart)], Billboard,[November 7, 1998.[http://www.billboard.com/charts/1998-12-05/r-b-hip-hop-albums Make It Hot (Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart)], Billboard, December 5, 1998.
