Robert Gabriel of AllMusic described the album as "a lyrical colloquium of the highest order" with "a heap of honesty and a touch of quirkiness."

HipHopDX and HipHopInfinity both named "To Make Millions" and "She's Always Right" as top tracks of the album.

Many critics preferred the collaborative tracks over the solo tracks on Code Name: Scorpion. HipHopDX said "the album provides the best results when the 3 share the mic." Peter Matekovits of HipHopInfinity claimed "Code Name: Scorpion isn't the album it could have been, largely due to the lack of joint efforts between the emcees." Kevin Crouse of New Times Broward-Palm Beach stated "since the few group efforts here are so truly Herculean, everything else on the album is rendered fairly underwhelming." RapReviews said "this album hits its peak on songs featuring Ab, Prev, and Moka together with the Viking on production."
