Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 61% based on 9 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

Gregory Heaney of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "The first thing that's clear is that time has been kind to the rapper, whose flow is still as sharp as ever, though perhaps a shade less enigmatic."[2] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! said, "OX hits a few lows, but it has a lot more highlights and is the closest Vast Aire has come to revisiting The Cold Vein since the break-up of Cannibal Ox."[3]
