Critical reception
Robert Christgau wrote that if Sandman's "flow and beats were a smidge more iconic, he'd epitomize the kind of major minor artistry Le Tigre--hell, Spoon or somebody--parlayed into legend."[1] In a review for HipHopDX, Kyle Eustice wrote: "In this often vapid world of meaningless lyrics, having to actually dissect what an MC is saying is... like a breath of fresh air."[6] Veins was selected as one of the best hip hop albums of 2017 by Bandcamp Daily author Phillip Mlynar.[7]
