The Guardian music critic Angus Batey described opening track "Yay Area" as "one of the handful of truly experimental, daring and generally aurally flabbergasting rap tracks released so far this century" in a 2015 profile of E-40. In an interview with MTV News, E-40 described the title as a reflection of having "straight A's across the board" and "d nothing foul in the game" in his music career. For AllMusic, David Jeffries remarked: "Lil Jon seems to be adapting to the Bay more than E-40 is going South." Ryan Dombal of Entertainment Weekly said the album "speeds up crunk's creeping scurrilousness while toning down its violent undercurrents." Critics noted the influence of Southern crunk sound. With E-40 as executive producer, the album features production from Bosko, Lil Jon, and Rick Rock among others. By the late 1990s and early 2000s, E-40 began doing guest features on Southern rappers' albums, such as MP da Last Don by Master P, My Homies by Scarface, and Kings of Crunk by Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz. Thanks to regional popularity of his independently released single " Captain Save a Hoe", E-40 got his first major label signing with Jive Records in 1994. In the early 1990s, he was part of the Vallejo rap group The Click. E-40, a rapper born in Vallejo, California, released eight solo albums prior to My Ghetto Report Card dating back to 1993.
