Pitchfork6.5/10[7]

James P. Wisdom of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.5 out of 10, saying: "It’s an auspicious debut, but one that's more likely to draw your attention to the band's future than to send you scattering for spare change to pick it up."[7] Ron Hart of CMJ New Music Report called it "a disjointed mindfuck of a rap album that aims to completely throw off your equilibrium."[5]

The Wire named it the record of the year in its annual critics poll.[8] In 2015, Fact placed it at number 75 on the "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.[9]
