Rolling Stone[20]
Spin7/10[21]

Fetty Wap was met with generally favorable reviews upon release. At

Pitchfork Media thought: "as a whole, Fetty Wap adopts the same self-assured stance: Fetty's formula definitely ain't broke, and he doesn't seem in a hurry to fix it."[19] For Colin Joyce of Spin, Wap "shows the consistency to scatter those songs throughout Fetty Wap's 17 tracks and to mostly stick to the limited formula that made them hit as hard as they did on the rest of the record."[21]

In a mixed review, XXL staff wrote: "Fetty’s attempt at putting together a full, formal project takes away from the overall prestige of his hits that have been so cherished over the past 12 months. This isn’t to say that the next album will won’t be able to more effectively balance hits and album cuts. But this one feels like the first attempt that it is."[22] Giving the album three-out-of-five stars, Rolling Stone editor Jon Dolan opined: "with a set list running up to 20 songs, it borders on Fetty overkill, but there are plenty of fine moments you haven't heard yet."[23]

Year-end lists

The album was featured on

Complex "Best Albums of 2015" list at number 40, with the editors commenting "Fetty is the hero we didn’t know we needed, a true underdog with vocal contortion and insane melodies being his super powers."[25]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number one on the US

platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over a million units.[29][30]

In 2016, Fetty Wap was ranked as the 15th most popular album of the year on the Billboard 200.[31]
