David Jeffries of AllMusic commented that "Guest shots from Tech N9ne ('Ghost') and Petey Pablo ('King') represent how weird and wild this guy plays it, but the local emo kids Atmosphere love the man as well, and they're likely appreciative that his brand of chaos is crafted as it comes."[7] He added, "Liability is proof that Prof is an off-kilter but discerning MC."[7] Jesse Sendejas Jr. of Houston Press praised the album as being like Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.[8]
