== Critical reception == The album received mixed reviews from critics. Ayomide Tayo of ''Nigerian Entertainment Today'' rated the album a 2.5 out of 5, saying that it "has the flaw of having a one-sided approach", although "by using what he has to his disposal (mainly Don Jazzy) he has delivered an adventurous album that is realistic and honest. It is not a classic, it is not great, but it is what you would expect from Dr. Sid", Tayo concluded.<ref name="q145">{{cite news | author=Ayomide Tayo | title=Don Jazzy helps Dr SID deliver a realistic and honest album [Album Review] | date=2014-01-25 | url=https://thenet.ng/don-jazzy-helps-dr-sid-deliver-a-realistic-and-honest-album-album-review/ |location=Lagos, Nigeria| access-date=2024-08-24|newspaper=The NET}}</ref> Wilfred Okiche of ''YNaija'' did not like the album, saying that "the last thing that 'Siduction' does is seduce anybody and one does not come off with a deeper knowledge of Dr Sid. It achieves other purposes instead. It annoys, it infuriates and then it bores."<ref name="q112">{{cite magazine | author=Wilfred Okiche | title=Album review: Dr. Sid's 'Siduction' fails to seduce | magazine=YNaija | date=2014-04-06 | url=https://ynaija.com/album-review-dr-sids-siduction-fails-to-seduce/ | access-date=2024-12-28}}</ref>
