Sex Playlist received positive reviews by music critics. Andy Kellman of AllMusic said After some snags, Omarion finally released his first Maybach Music Group album, Sex Playlist, in late 2014. While it was issued only as a digital download, it deserved a full promotional push and physical release from Maybach parent label Atlantic, as it was one of the year's best sets of contemporary R&B. True to its title, Sex Playlist is more slow jam-oriented than any of Omarion's Epic and EMI albums. Curt Williams of SooDetroit said With so many delays and push backs of Sex Playlist, the general assumption was that Omarion was going to drop a lackluster project. Fret not! Omarion manages to deliver one of the year’s best R&B albums, and definitely the best of his discography since his debut. Justin Charity of Complex said Despite its hedonist billing, Sex Playlist is one of the most mature, refined, restrained male R&B projects from a major artist this year. Omarion opens with an expanse of cinematic synth, tapered by finger snaps to mellow the mood, only to reprise excitement with an extended tenor sax flourish at the three-minute mark. “Show Me,” with its tender assistance from Jeremih, is the album's first obvious standout, with chemistry and charisma that dwarfs the threesome with Breezy and Aiko.

Commercial performance

Sex Playlist debuted at number 49 on the US Billboard 200, selling 16,000 copies. In its second week, the album sold 5,000 more copies. After the release of the clip, the album re-entered the Billboard 200 and has sold more 23,000 copies in the United States. On December 13, 2014, Sex Playlist peaked at number 2 on the Billboard "R&B Albums Chart".[6]
