Critical reception

The Orlando Sentinel called the album "above average because of Mantronik's diffusion of new wave, rock, funk and hard-core hip-hop through studio technical gadgets." USA Today wrote that "wordsmith M.C. Tee and beatmeister Mantronik mix street smarts and mainstream pop sensibilities."
