The album was met with generally lukewarm critical reception, who deemed it inferior to his debut album, I Gotta Make It (2005). Trey Day debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard 200, with 73,000 copies sold in the first week of release. It also reached number two on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album was supported by four singles, including "Can't Help but Wait," Songz' first top 20 entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 as well as the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs-top ten single, "Last Time."

AllMusic[5]
DJBooth.net[6]

Nathan Slavik from DJBooth.net noted that with Trey Day, Songz "is making a not-so-subtle move towards hip-hop." While he called the project "a perfectly enjoyable R&B/hip-hop album," Slavik was critical with Songz decision to abandon the "60's R&B-laced" sound of his debut album in favor of "mainstream R&B with mixed results."[6] AllMusic noted that with Trey Day Songz "fluctuates between heartfelt sensitivity ("Can't Help But Wait," "Missin You," "We Should Be"), anguished new jack swing ("Long Gone Missin," "Last Time"), and overtly sexual ballads ("No Clothes On," "Sex For Yo Stereo," "Role Play")."[5]
