Dani Fromm from laut.de rated Undisputed with three out of a possible five points. She says that the rapper has made "no development" - neither positive nor negative - over his entire career. However, fans would be “undoubtedly well served again” with what one could expect. The productions by Swizz Beatz were particularly successful and DMX would continue rapping with “hunger and bite”. The guest singers, however, are mostly rated negatively.
