R&BW received generally positive reviews from music critics. TayoTV rated the album 8.75 out of 10, concluding: "Banky made it known that he still has it and The W Experience wasn’t a fluke. This is what we want out of Nigeria not the glorified noise most of these artistes call songs or albums." Music blog Jaguda awarded the album a rating of 9 out of 10, saying it doesn't "lack in originality and freshness". Chiagoziem Onyekwena of Nigerian Entertainment Today gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, highlighting Wizkid's absence on the record.

R&BW was nominated for Best R&B/Pop Album and Album of the Year at the 2013 edition of The Headies.
