Grand Champ received generally mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 58, based on twelve reviews.^[15] Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic praised DMX's effort stating that, "It's a well-crafted and thought-out album but feels like a sequel, and as such, it serves its purpose: to satisfy fans and move units." But Birchmeier also stated that it was "Not quite the big comeback DMX needed at this point in his quietly sagging rap career." In addition, he stated that, "Longtime fans may decide to drop off at about this point, if they hadn't already, while those content with the usual—or new to DMX—should find plenty to savor on Grand Champ." Birchmeier ultimately give the album a 3.5 star rating out of 5.^[24]

Commercial performance

Grand Champ debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 312,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen Soundscan.^[3] This became DMX's fifth and final US number one debut on the chart.^[3] In its second week, the album dropped to number seven on the chart, selling an additional 150,000 copies.^[25] On November 7, 2003, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments and sales of over one million copies in the US.^[26] As of October 2009, the album has sold 1,204,000 copies in the United States.^[27] To date, it is DMX's final album to achieve a certification from the RIAA.

-==Critical reception==
 ''Grand Champ'' received generally mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a [[Standard score|normalized]] rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 58, based on twelve reviews.<ref name=metacritic/> Jason Birchmeier of [[AllMusic]] praised DMX's effort stating that, "It's a well-crafted and thought-out album but feels like a sequel, and as such, it serves its purpose: to satisfy fans and move units." But Birchmeier also stated that it was "Not quite the big comeback DMX needed at this point in his quietly sagging rap career." In addition, he stated that, "Longtime fans may decide to drop off at about this point, if they hadn't already, while those content with the usual—or new to DMX—should find plenty to savor on Grand Champ." Birchmeier ultimately give the album a 3.5 star rating out of 5.<ref>{{cite web|author=Jason Birchmeier |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/grand-champ-mw0002016697 |title=Grand Champ - DMX &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits |publisher=AllMusic |date=September 16, 2003 |access-date=December 19, 2015}}</ref>
