Addi Stewart from praised the cinematic concept throughout the record, from its title to the vast majority of featured artists on every track. 's Simon Vozick-Levinson said about the overall feel of the album: ' Theater feels a bit like yet another. We've watched this movie more than a few times, but it's always fun to see this many talented pals cutting loose together.' Josh Eells of felt the lyrical content making up the whole concept record was lacking and too complacent for Luda, saying that 'Punch line for punch line, Luda is still the best in the business, but these sex jams and hater disses feel too flat and perfunctory for his thousand-watt personality.' He concluded that after the final track 'the whole thing seems less like an album than a branding exercise—an obligatory effort to keep the “hip-hop star” line on his CV.'

's commended the upbeat tracks and lyrical collaborations with T-Pain, Nas/Jay-Z and T.I. But felt they were only decent retreads of Luda's previous material and lacked the strengths found in his guest verses on other people's records. He also compared it to 's on how it engages its respective fanbases, saying that Mind is 'more immediately accessible, but ultimately less resonant' and could benefit from a 'radical reinvention' that's similar to Heartbreak. Cited 'I Do It for Hip Hop' as a 'choice cut', indicating a good song on 'an album that isn't worth your time or money.'

Ian Cohen, writing for, commended the first third for its lyrical boasts, criticized the middle portion's 'one dimensionality' and 'woefully underdeveloped' party jams and found the final half's hip-hop checklist tracks passable if the listeners can stomach the logic behind them, saying that 'While Theater isn't quite as dire as the above may indicate, like every other Ludacris record, it doesn't grow on you- in fact, it actually contracts.' Chart performance The album debuted at number five on the, selling 214,000 copies in its first week, making it his sixth top 5 album on that chart. It was his first album since 2000's and 2001's to not reach number one status, and his lowest charting album in his career.

Ludacris, in concert on Tuesday at the Highline Ballroom, welcomed guests representing hip-hop heritage. CreditMichael Nagle for The New York TimesIn a video on the YouTube channel of Ludacris’s label, Disturbing tha Peace, he watches as DJ Premier, the primary architect of 1990s East Coast rap formalism, picks out a line from an old Ludacris song, “Stand Up,” and cues up his turntable. Casually the D.J. Begins cutting the vocals immaculately into smaller and smaller bits while Ludacris reclines in a chair, pleased with the view.So distant is the moment when artful D.J.ing was an essential part of hip-hop culture that watching DJ Premier is a little like regarding an exhibit at a folk-art museum — a hip-hop Colonial Williamsburg.Consider Ludacris an enthusiastic re-enactor, then, and also the rare Southern rapper who considers working with DJ Premier — or time traveling, as it were — a feather in his cap. Accordingly, the smile on his face Tuesday night as he brought Premier onstage at the Highline Ballroom was wide and irrepressibly sincere.

Anthology

Premier produced “MVP,” a no-frills track from Ludacris’s sixth album, “Theater of the Mind” (D.T.P./Def Jam), for which this show was a release party.Despite accidents of birth (Illinois) and geographic relocation, Ludacris is firmly a New York nostalgist trapped in the body of an Atlanta motormouth. An almost impossibly precise rapper who often mistakes enthusiasm for charm, he would have been exceedingly comfortable in New York’s underground scene of the mid- to late 1990s, where battle-rap champions were the stars and tricky polysyllabic rhyme schemes mattered more than Q scores.
