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 79, based on 6 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]

Jake Paine of HipHopDX gave the album a 4.0 out of 5, saying: "The artist knows he might not fit into the musical worlds that influenced him, but he pays homage to them without sacrificing much of his own dignity."[4] Hari Ashurst of Pitchfork wrote, "there's enough of a sweet spot in the clean, backward-leaning production and offbeat samples to allow the record to distinguish itself as more than a sum of disparate parts."[5]

Rhapsody placed it at number 8 on the "Top 20 Hip-Hop Albums of 2012" list.[15] Stereogum placed it at number 25 on the "Top 40 Rap Albums of 2012" list.[16]

gollark: You're not going to actually *think* that, but it's the general process I think.
gollark: If you see an advert for something you don't really need or want much, you'll probably not pay much attention to that... until you happen to need a thing, and you'll remember the advert, and think "wow, I remember an advert showing high-status people using this product! To be high-status I must purchase this product as opposed to alternative products" and then be more likely to buy the advertised product.
gollark: Exactly.
gollark: And it comes with Xordroid 10, too, instead of oOS 13.
gollark: 🌵 !
