Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.4 out of 10, calling it "[Milo's] most fascinating work to date, filling weird, side-winding productions that deflate and wheeze with tumbling lyricism delivered in near spoken word cadences."[3] Gary Suarez of The Quietus wrote, "producer Kenny Segal leans towards jazz abstractions, full of billowy smoke instead of the more typical boom bap dust."[4]

It was ranked at number 26 on Rolling Stone's "40 Best Rap Albums of 2015" list,[6] as well as number 37 on Spin's "50 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2015" list.[7] The New York Observer named it the 5th best hip-hop album of 2015,[8] while The Boston Globe named it the 7th best hip-hop album of 2015.[9] Impose placed it at number 17 on the "Best Albums of 2015" list.[10]

"Souvenir" was included on RedEye's "20 Best Songs of 2015" list.[11]

gollark: Just stop considering orbital death rays a problem.Anyway, apparently the "federal reserve" is likely to increase interest rates some amount next year. Someone elsewhere said that that would probably be bad for the stock market. Is that accurate?
gollark: Yes, people are weird and want it for social status/scarcity/whatever rather than because it actually looks nice "inherently".
gollark: (also, I'm pretty sure IPFS doesn't guarantee that your file exists forever at no cost, someone has to be pinning it or viewing it)
gollark: It's probably irrelevant though, as I doubt *that* many people actually care about having the arbitrary ownership token™ in the first place and have the technical knowledge to check in much detail whether you actually do have it.
gollark: Smart contracts *have* been known to have complex bugs which are also completely impossible to patch after they've been released onto an unsuspecting public.
