The album received mainly positive reviews, with critics praising Little's ability to blend many genres together into one album while still sounding "fresh and bold";[6] their "tongue-in-cheek brilliance";[4] and their "biting critique of society at large" and "acerbic wit and intelligence".[9] Ron ONeill, of online music magazine Subba-Cultcha gave the album a perfect score and stated that this album was "Easily one of the freshest rap albums to appear in the last few years. A clever and well-defined collection of electro, Philly house, hip-hop, wit and sampling".[2]
