The release of Street OT was met with mixed reactions from music critics. Hours after its release, the album peaked at the number one spot on iTunes World Albums Chart.[9] Dayo Showemimo of Nigerian Entertainment Today rated the album 3.5 out of 5, adding that “Olamide might not have come into the game with a visible business plan but he’s stayed true and loyal to his chosen genre, he’s loved by the street”.[8] In a contrasting view, Tola Sarumi of NotJustOk rated the album a low 3.5 out of 10, stating that the album “is not a pleasant aural experience, it’s a project cobbled together from leftover tracks.”[7] An editor for BellaNaija rated the album 3 out of 5 and went further to make a verdict, stating: “Street OT is not a stellar Baddo solo project but it’s a nice YBNL showcase album”.[5] Wilfred Okiche of 360nobs reviewed Street OT as an inconsistent album marked by moments of brilliance overshadowed by excess and indiscipline. While praising tracks like "Prayer for Client" and "Batifeori" for showcasing Olamide's talent, he concluded, "Half-baked is perhaps the term that best summarises Street OT."[10] Street OT was nominated in the "Album of The Year" category at the 2015 edition of the Nigeria Entertainment Awards.[11]
