David Jeffries from allmusic gave the EP a 3.5 out of 5 praising the overall album-like quality. [2] Michael Weaver of Jesusfreakhideout gave the EP a 3 out of 5 saying: "While it's great to see KB back in the mix, it's also a bit disappointing to see him not reach his full potential. "100" and "Undefeated" offer some enjoyment, with "Kamikaze" also being a decent track, but the other half of the EP may leave you scratching your head. There are a couple of tracks worth grabbing, but more than anything, this EP has me wondering what KB may have in store for his next full-length record. Hopefully it's more Weight & Glory and less 100 EP". [3]
