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 the "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.[6]
