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."[11] Jeff Weiss of LA Weekly called it "one of the best and most forward-thinking L.A. hip-hop records in years."[12] Andrew Noz of NPR wrote: "His lineage is of the legendary Project Blowed open mic, breeding ground for underground heroes such as Jurassic 5 and Freestyle Fellowship, and you can hear the double-time jazz-rap madness of the latter spilling over into his rigid cadences."[7]
