Jesus Freak Hideout | [5] |
New Release Tuesday | [6] |
Awarding the album four stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, Kevin Hoskins states, "Uncomfortable is a good release and Mineo hits home on some serious thoughts for rap fans to consider."[5] Mark Ryan, giving the album five stars at New Release Today, writes, "It is masterfully thought out, and the entire album moves through a progression of many levels of discomfort for the listener."[6] Rating the album three and a half X's for HipHopDX, Franklin Benjamin says, "It is easy to predict how Uncomfortable will be received: powerful and uplifting if you’re into Christian Rap and love Jesus, a well-produced album if you’re not and don’t, and corny if you think waiting to have sex before marriage is the worst invention of all time."[4]
Calvin Moore, indicating in a two and a half star review by The Christian Manifesto, responds, "Ultimately, Uncomfortable is a disappointment."[3] Signaling in a eight and a half out of ten review at Christ Core, Bryce Cooley recognizes, "Uncomfortable brings a timelessness that will endure".[1] Chris Major, specifying in a four star review by The Christian Beat, replies, "With a mix of thought-provoking lyrics combined with encouragement and a range of beats, Uncomfortable is an ambitious and bold entry into Christian rap and hip hop that convicts, inspires, and encourages."[2]
Commercial performance
The album debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 with 35,000 copies sold in its first week.[7]
