At the album release party at the FATE Lounge in Pittsburgh, Maize performed and switched wardrobes throughout the set to represent each of the five archetypes featured on the album.[8] A review on FrostClick classified the album as "...bursting at the seams with originality. Aside from her mind-blowing rapping, Kellee has a singing voice to rival even the most talented pop stars, and she shows it off in just the right amounts."[9]
