Stanton Swihart of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, commenting that "its stronger moments are among the most forward-thinking hip-hop ever made."[2] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote, "The beer-soaked ennui of the hip-hop depressive hasn't been captured this evocatively since before Basehead found Jesus".[7]

In 2015, it was ranked at number 14 on Fact's "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.[8]
