Critical reception

Upon its release, Codename: Ego Stripper was met with generally positive reviews. David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "Still a force to be reckoned with, Ces Cru's sophomore effort for Tech N9ne's Strange Music label retains the energy and intensity of their debut while walking the pimp walk with a more comfortable, sure strut." Kellan Miller of HipHopDX said, "Ces Cru is still a band with a witty-lyrics heavy approach, but overall Codename: Ego Stripper excels at putting the entire package together; a glaring problem with their last release. Ushering in a lengthy track list for an audience easily enticed by instagram, vines, (is-that-a-baby-smoking-a cigarette?) attention spans shows that Ces feel that they deserve their massive viral hype. On that note, "Hope" features the duo waxing poetic over a jazzy instrumental about exactly how far they envision their careers will soar. It is a fitting nightcap to an impressive release."

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 6,354 copies in the United States.
