Pulse Nigeria noted in a review of ‘Made In Lagos (Deluxe)’ that “The chart-topping single album has climbed to No. 58 on the Billboard 200. The highest chart position achieved by a Nigerian album is No. 54, achieved by Burna Boy’s ‘Twice As Tall.’ With the release of a deluxe edition and the meteoric success of ‘Essence,’ ‘Made In Lagos’ could soar even higher on the charts.”
