The album's title is named, after the [beach cruiser](/source/beach_cruiser) bicycle. In an interview Glasses Malone said, "It's called ''Beach Cruiser'', everybody loves a Beach Cruiser. People love those bikes in the 'hood. It's classic, also when y'all gonna hear the music on the record it gonna be dope to a point where you just feel like there is some kind of cruise which you just ridin to the beach, so again I called it Beach Cruiser."[[http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JSE/is_297/ai_n14816355/pg_1 "Glasses Malone"], ''[Thrasher](/source/Thrasher_(magazine))'', August 2005.]

== 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."[[http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/album-reviews/id.1748/title.glasses-malone-beach-cruiser Review: Glasses Malone - Beach Cruiser] HipHopDX.com]
