Hinting that the mixtape was still in development.Mack Maine intensified the topic when he tweeted D5 hinting the tape would be soon released. On August 14, 2013, Lil Wayne hinted on his Twitter account that the mixtape would be finished in 10 days after he was asked by a fan.

Critical reception Professional ratingsReview scoresSourceRating5.1/106/10(L)Dedication 5 was met with mixed reviews from. Ketchum III of gave the mixtape a positive review, saying 'To Wayne’s credit, Dedication 5 is the best the series has showcased since its legendary sequel from seven years ago, even if it pales in comparison. Occasionally, the YMCMB head honcho shows that he still has a portion of the skills that earned him his spot among rap’s elite. If he can find recapture the consistency from that same era, he won’t have to apologize to his fans for much longer.'
Brian Josephs of gave the mixtape an L, saying 'Surprisingly, one of the more intriguing moments of Dedication 5 comes in a skit. On one of the final tracks, Lil Wayne is asked if he considers himself a. He doesn’t know, but he concludes by saying being Lil Wayne is “amazing.” Is this just contentment or a positive outlook on things to come, like the entertaining, but flawed Dedication 5 is? Fans could speculate, but it’s much easier to realize how refreshing it is to hear Lil Wayne sounding like he gives a damn.'
Corban Goble of gave the mixtape a 5.1 out of 10, saying 'Though he’s still got an ear for the beat and can manipulate his flow to fit- and, again, most of these bars are rapped without rehearsal, so adjust your mindset accordingly- Dedication 5 is uneven, front-heavy, and too long for one sitting. But with both recent mixtapes as well as recent projects, Wayne has set the bar very low. What more can he say?
It’s hard to know until the artist himself decides, but Dedication 5- a release whose DatPiff page earnestly reads 'Welcome back Mixtape Weezy”- shows that some gears are still moving.' Chris Coplan of gave the album three and a half stars out of five, saying 'In just a few words, Wayne lends all sorts of gravity to claims that he wants to get better and to do away with the laziness, fear, and negativity of recent years. He’s got a long way to go before he’s ever the Best In The World again, but he’s nothing if not totally, totally committed.
Good to have ya back, Mr. Adam Finley of gave the mixtape a six out of ten, saying 'Medical troubles, legal troubles, self-doubt, the crushing weight of expectation – any one of those on its own could cripple an artist. Wayne has stumbled hard in recent years, but with Dedication 5 he seems to have temporarily caught himself. He even apologized to fans on Twitter recently and promised to work harder. Dedication 5 is not the best Lil Wayne mixtape ever. It’s not even in the Top 5, but it is the best that he’s released in four years. More importantly, it’s evidence that Mixtape Weezy still exists in some form, if Wayne can stop cashing checks and doing skateboard tricks long enough to let him out.'
