Critical reception

Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! gave the album a favorable review, calling it "a classic hip-hop album that is destined to forever burst the boundaries of what should be considered hip-hop."^[3] Ali Maloney of The Skinny said, "Despite the seemingly simple beats and raps configuration, there is no shortage of jaw-dropping pyrotechnics and originality on show here."^[5]

In 2015, Fact placed it at number 96 on its "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.^[6]
