The Tampa Bay Times praised the album, writing that it "blends an old school vibe with modern rhymes and cutting-edge production, jazzy yet hard core."[3] The Los Angeles Sentinel said that "the vibe is a steady movement through the currents of rap music today that can stand up to work by Quest, Onyx, Lyte, and Mobb Deep."[4]
