Andy Kellman of Allmusic rated the album two and a half stars out of five and gave the work a rather dismissive review, stating that "it continues in the group's tradition of being able to deliver a couple of solid singles surrounded by middling to fair album tracks."[5] PopMatters thought the album was dated and "trapped in a time warp" and that "It wants to be pre- Mary J. Blige hip-hop and R&B with some notable exceptions".[7] Overall, they praised both Mario Winans and the Neptunes contributions to the album, and felt they managed "to create some haphazard hits here, lack of creativity aside".[7] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine was mixed in his review.[6] Cinquemani praised the albums first half of material, while disapproving of the second half calling it "a bit less successful".[6] Nonetheless, he declared, "702 comes closest to capturing the buttery warm harmonies of Diana Ross and the Supremes—Destiny’s Child be damned. Star exists to prove that surprises can indeed be pleasant".[6]
The album peaked at forty-five on the US Billboard 200 and reached the twenty-second spot on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[8]
