The album featured production from a wide range of hip hop producers including legends like Marley Marl and Pete Rock. It was an improvement on the Billboard charts over his previous album, peaking at number 112 on the Billboard 200 and number 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album also featured his only Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Nothin' Move But the Money", which managed to find minor-success and peaked at number 70 on the chart. The album is now out of print.

There is a version of "Usual Suspects" which features Hussein Fatal in place of Tragedy Khadafi and The Lox. It is uncertain which version of the song is the original.

AllMusic[1]

AllMusic's Leo Stanley was critical of the Puff Daddy-produced "Nothin' Move But the Money" but gave praise to the "R&B-flavored productions" throughout the album and Geronimo's rhyming abilities that make Vendetta worth listening for people.[1]
