He said, "It's not about just having a sex playlist, it's about having the right sex playlist, because you can't have sex without love… It's not just about the lustful idea of sex. It's a playlist for the lovers."^[4]

Sex Playlist received positive reviews by music critics. Andy Kellman of AllMusic said "After some snags, Omarion finally released his first Maybach Music Group album, Sex Playlist, in late 2014. While it was issued only as a digital download, it deserved a full promotional push and physical release from Maybach parent label Atlantic, as it was one of the year's best sets of contemporary R&B. True to its title, Sex Playlist is more slow jam-oriented than any of Omarion's Epic and EMI albums."^[7] Curt Williams of SooDetroit said, "With so many delays and push backs of Sex Playlist, the general assumption was that Omarion was going to drop a lackluster project. Fret not! Omarion manages to deliver one of the year's best R&B albums, and definitely the best of his discography since his debut."^[9] Justin Charity from Complex called the album "one of the most mature, refined, restrained male R&B projects from a major artist" from 2014. He went on to say that Omarion sounded more evolved and the album was more sincere and coherent.^[8]
