Critical reception
XXL called the album "lush with pounding production and dense similes."
AllMusic wrote: "Awash in slow and mid-tempo tracks emblazoned with the dusty, cut-up R&B samples of NYC's '90s heyday, Boot Camp rolls thick through piano drops and sparely framed tracks, rapping about money, women, and street pride."{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-last-stand-mw0000417187|title=The Last Stand - Boot Camp Clik | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic|via=www.allmusic.com}}
