Critical reception
Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying: "Even though most of the songs are under three minutes, there isn't much superfluous filler to weigh down the record."[2] Susanna Bolle of XLR8R said: "For those not already familiar with Anticon, this budget-priced compilation provides an excellent primer, collecting tracks by the label's extended stable of artists, from the fantastic, absurdist rhymes of Themselves to the acerbic rants of Sole."[5]

gollark: It really locks out third-party prophets, you know.
gollark: But only the specific prophets they authorize?
gollark: By its author, I mean.
gollark: I did a project on its early origins one time, I think it was created or at least manipulated for political gain a **lot**.
