The release of Street OT was met with mixed reactions from music critics. 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”. 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.” A review by Should You Bump This, posted by 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”. Wilfred Okiche of 360nobs wrote that Street OT "isn't exactly a mainstream effort but one whose primary target lies in the streets where he comes from".
