Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly concluded that "Young strings the words together nimbly enough, but they never come to life." USA Today noted that "the album ranges in style from [A Tribe Called] Quest's hard-core sound to soft pop, cool jazz and dancehall reggae." The Indianapolis Star determined that Young's "personality was formed by TV commercials, which can make for some fun, but his pointlessness dominates an otherwise energetic dose of hip-hop, jazz and funk." AllMusic deemed the album "agreeable and likeable, with only a couple of embarrassing tracks."
