Critical reception
The album received mixed reviews from critics. Ayomide Tayo of Nigerian Entertainment Today rated the album a 2.5 out of 5, saying that it "has the flaw of having a one-sided approach", although "by using what he has to his disposal (mainly Don Jazzy) he has delivered an adventurous album that is realistic and honest. It is not a classic, it is not great, but it is what you would expect from Dr. Sid", Tayo concluded.[18] Wilfred Okiche of YNaija did not like the album, saying that "the last thing that 'Siduction' does is seduce anybody and one does not come off with a deeper knowledge of Dr Sid. It achieves other purposes instead. It annoys, it infuriates and then it bores."[19]
