Foxy's ability to be honest about her trials and tribulations is refreshing, and the album is mostly successful regardless of her extra-long absence from store shelves.

NOW Magazine
This “mixtape album” decently whets the appetite.

PopMatters
Brooklyn’s Don Diva isn’t a stellar offering, but it’s not terrible either.

Rolling Stone
Despite the tabloid-worthy subject matter, a couple of bangers are invigorating, with Foxy spitting fiercely over a dark, stomping beat on 'How We Get Down.' But she also gets stuck in rote braggadocio.

All Music Guide
A couple tracks and a few stray lines aside, these verses could have been dashed off by the MC at just about any earlier point in her career.

Village Voice
Take Foxy Brown's (belated) fourth album, Brooklyn's Don Diva, as the latest missed opportunity.

Spin
Fox gets tripped up by uninspired rap-reggae mashups, electro-pop beats better suited for Nelly Furtado, and rhymes that dwell on designer labels and raunchy sex. [Mar 2008, p.98]
30
The New York Times
The production is bargain bin, and lyrically, she sounds leaden.
