RapReviews(7.5/10)[6]

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman found that "Trina's righteous raunchiness is more than a little exhausted on Glamorest Life, the Miami MC's third album. She seems to know it too, sounding distanced and not nearly as energized as she was on 2002's Diamond Princess. That puts more weight on the productions and guest verses."[5]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number eleven on the US Billboard 200, number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number two on the Top Rap Albums chart, selling 77,000 units in its first week.[7] To date the album sold 398,000 copies.[8][9]
