Method Man stated the reasons for the delay:{{cquote|I had obligations. Doc had obligations. There were things going on with the label. Staff changes. That's what happened.}} Giving his take on the delay, Redman stated: {{cquote|We was out venturing, starting other careers," Red said. "We can't just depend on this rap game. We did a [[How High|movie]], [[Method & Red|TV show]] — venturing out. Now we back. We ain't left. We're coming at the right time.}}<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web|last=Reid |first=Shaheem |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1608980/20090409/method_man.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090410192825/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1608980/20090409/method_man.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 10, 2009 |title=Method Man, Redman Return With Blackout 2 After 'Venturing' Out - News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News |publisher=Mtv.com |date=2009-04-10 |access-date=2010-07-26}}</ref>

We went in, had fun. I have my own studio now, so it's more relaxed. I engineer now. It ain't no rush for time, paying the studio and engineer. It's fun. We treated [the album] like a mixtape, really. If we really got in there and sat, it'll be a beast. But it's a beast now, and we treated it like a mixtape.<ref name="autogenerated1"/>}}

It has a score of 79 out of an overall score of 100 on [[Metacritic]], indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref name="metacritic"/>
AllMusic gave it a four out of five stars, stating, "With each having individual obligations all over the place, it took ten years for Method Man and Redman to record a follow-up to 1999's beloved ''[[Blackout! (Method Man & Redman album)|Blackout!]]'', but one listen and you'd think it had only been ten days. Interplay during the intro proves that none of the chemistry is lost... The original deserves the top spot, but think of this as ''[[The Godfather Part II]]'' of reckless boom-bap rap and you've got an idea of how well this ''Blackout!'' satisfies."<ref name=AM/> ''HipHopDX'' gave the album a 3.5 stars out of 5, stating, "Still, Red and Meth clearly made this album for the fans, and the fans should be more or less sated. They may not be as ferocious as they once were, but very few ever have been. So with that in mind, Blackout! 2 is definitely worth a spin – and not just for nostalgia’s sake."
''[[Vibe (magazine)|Vibe]]'' gave a favorable review, stating, "The middle-aged MCs have forged an album that reflects their belief that skills will always trump bells and whistles. Don’t mistake it for complacency--blame it on consistency. BO2 passes the smell test."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vibe.com/music/revolutions/2009/05/revs_method_man_and_redman_blackout_two/ |title=Music |publisher=VIBE |date=2010-07-22 |access-date=2010-07-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100718174335/http://www.vibe.com/music/revolutions/2009/05/revs_method_man_and_redman_blackout_two/ |archive-date=2010-07-18 }}</ref> ''Billboard'' stated, "This dynamic duo comes off as vital as it has in a decade on the highly anticipated sequel to the pair's 1999 collaborative debut, ''Blackout!''"
''IGN'' stated, "For the most part, ''Blackout! 2'' is a decent rap experience, with strong beats and music, masterful emcee braggadocio and funky flow, and a playful pothead sense of humor. Nothing amazes or stands out as awful; but Meth & Red fans should be satisfied." ''XXL'' stated, "For the majority of ''Blackout! 2'', Meth and Red touch upon the strongest staples of their past work 'Four Minutes to Lock Down', with Raekwon and Ghostface, is this album’s always reliable Wu-Tang cipher). The uninspired filler that litters this reunion’s latter portion, though, spoils the overall taste. Those with a hardcore case of the munchies for vintage Meth and Red goodness should feel satisfied. Just expect to be reminded more of past, stronger highs, rather than any lasting, in-the-moment buzz."
