The album was released on June 23, 2015, under Mello Music Group.[2][3][4] The album was released a day after Pete's 45th birthday and it serves as a sequel to 2001's PeteStrumentals. The track listing on the album features 20 instrumental tracks that was either unreleased or made by Pete himself. This would be Rock's first instrumental album since 2005's The Surviving Elements: From Soul Survivor II Sessions in nearly over 10 years. A music video for "Cosmic Slop" was also released on YouTube by Mello Music Group.[5] During the release of PeteStrumentals 2, a mixtape called PeteStrumentals 2 The Official J. Rocc Mix was also released as a digital downloadable mp3 format, which it was mixed by J. Rocc paying homage to Pete's latest album.[6] According to Rock, the project PeteStrumentals 3 which features no rapping and no samples, was released on December 11, 2020, on Tru Soul records. It includes Rock's band called "The Soul Brothers", which will provide live band playing as instrumental beats.[7]

The album has received positive reviews from music critics. A publisher from the Associated Press called this album "a celebratory affair. These are beats to cheers to. Beats to reminisce over. Beats that illuminate the grind."[17] Sputnikmusic gave this album a 4.5 rating, calling "it one of the best hip-hop releases of 2015, easily taking the spot for the best instrumental hip-hop release for the year."[18] A Canadian music magazine source Exclaim! gave this album a rating of 7 out of 10; it calls it "listening to this long-gestating follow-up, it would appear that not a whole lot has changed in the interim. That's not to discount the potency or worthiness of the project, but as one of the best hip-hop producers of all time."[19]HipHopDX originally gave this album a 3.4 rating out of 5. However, in 2016, HipHopDX gave this album a 3.5 rating out of 5, calling it "An instrumental album full of jazz and funk samples sure to keep heads nodding."[20]
