Critical reception
Zoneil Maharaj of XLR8R gave the album an 8.5 out of 10, commenting that the album lives in both worlds of "the heralded cipher circle Project Blowed and beat-head bastion Low End Theory."[7] Jeff Weiss of LA Weekly called it "one of the best and most forward-thinking L.A. hip-hop records in years."[12]
