When reviewing ''Eazy-Duz-It'', Jason Birchmeier of Allmusic said, "In terms of production, Dr. Dre and Yella meld together P-Funk, Def Jam-style hip-hop and the leftover electro sounds of mid-'80s Los Angeles, creating a dense, funky, and thoroughly unique style of their own." Birchmeier said that it sounded "absolutely revolutionary in 1988".<ref name="allmusic main">{{cite web|last=Huey |first=Steve |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=eazy-e-p33|pure_url=yes}} |title=Eazy-E |website=Allmusic |access-date=November 27, 2010}}</ref>
