== Critical response == HipHopDX gave the album a 3 out of 5 rating calling the album " more of a throwback than a new jack, more of a memory than the future, but he bangs." and concluded with "With unpolished rhymes, a gutter flow and street-centered approach, it’ll be interesting to see what he does when label woes don’t interfere with his path."<ref>[http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.1748/title.glasses-malone-beach-cruiser Review: Glasses Malone - Beach Cruiser] HipHopDX.com</ref>
