51/50 Ratchet received mixed reviews from music critics. Rolling Stone's Christian Hoard gave credit to the album for showcasing ratchet music and Chris's delivery, resembling that of Lil Wayne, concluding that it 'eventually runs short on ideas, but not before heralding a regional sound that Hurricane Chris milks for plenty of fun.'^[5] Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic noted that Chris's delivery needs more time to develop in order for him to go beyond being a nondescript rapper.^[1] Justin Chandler of RapReviews found the album lacking with tired production, overreliance on typical hip-hop clichés and Chris's performance doing little to distinguish himself, saying that he 'has plenty of time to legitimize himself as a rapper that has more to say than the shallow surface-level stuff, but for now he seems happy with just that.'^[4]
