Critical reception
Self Made Vol. 2 received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 70, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 8 reviews. Carl Chery of XXL commended the performers' chemistry and stated, "There’s a clear hierarchy in song quality throughout the album, but no skip-worthy cuts." AllMusic editor David Jeffries called the album "an interesting mix of in-house and all-star, and another reason to take Ross the ring-leader seriously." However, Brandon Soderberg of Spin called them a "pseudo-supergroup of convenience" who "snarls, stunts, and simps luxuriously", and quipped, "needs more Gunplay." Roman Cooper of HipHopDX said, "Self Made Vol. 2 is a noted improvement from its predecessor. Aside from Rick Ross’ innate ability to choose great production and guest features, the project features Ross’ vision for his Maybach Music Group squad: a diverse collection of individuals whose differences are complementary. If the crew can manage to keep from occasionally lapsing into predictability, it’ll be a force to be reckoned with for quite some time."
