The album was reviewed in the Daily Nebraskan, which summarized that "the record fits together like a collage, with some pieces that certainly seem out of place" giving it a C+ overall.[6] The Village Voice critic Robert Christgau highlighted "Southern Girl" and "Night Riders" while summarizing up the album as "having fun with the human beatbox (and friends) in the studio (and on stage)".[3] Eothen Alapatt, in a review for The Source, called Make the Music 2000 "a refreshing alternative to the conventional rap albums", commending Rahzel for his "uncanny ability to mimic instruments".[5]
