Upon its 1997 release, Life After Death debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200. It was the first album to feature two back-to-back posthumous No. 1 singles: "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems." The album received a Grammy nomination in the category of "Best Rap Album." "Hypnotize" earned a Grammy nomination for "Best Rap Solo Performance," and "Mo Money Mo Problems" was nominated for "Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group."

Among dozens of lists and retrospectives, Rolling Stone touted Life After Death among its coveted "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time." The RIAA has awarded the album a Diamond Certification for selling more than 5 million copies of the double LP.

"Biggie's second album was a victory lap following the immense, earth-shaking success of his 1994 debut, Ready to Die, and was prophetically and tragically released less than a month after the 24-year-old was shot and killed. The rubber-grooved 'Hypnotize' was already on its way to becoming a smash when he died, and his lyrical genius and gift for narrative were on display all over this two (disc) set, as he grapples with rap-game politics and delivers thinly veiled knocks at the West Coasters he long beefed with over clean, lush-sounding production. He was just getting started" — Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
