Allmusic's Alex Henderson described Forever Everlasting as "decent, if not outstanding" . Even here, Everlast proves his lyrical skills, for which he will later become known. He quoted Ice-T , one of the pioneers of gangsta rap and executive producer of the album, who reportedly said, "If you heard him rap, it would never occur to you that he was white ." Even if Everlast's performance wasn't exceptional the album "definitely" has its highlights. He highlighted the songs Speak No Evil and Fuck Everyone and gave Forever Everlasting three out of five.
