[2] He called it "consistently imaginative and never predictable." [2] Liz Cordingley of XLR8R said: "Volleying between forceful and quirky, the avant-garde approach of this album gets closer to the human side of jazz than any digitized hip-hop beat." [7] Ron Hart of Billboard called it "the most adventurous work in the Fog catalog yet." [3]
