Background

The album was described as "infused... with all the influences that have fueled him over the years." [2] AllMusic reviewed the album, stating it consists of "a unique voice, one that's choppy, quirky, welcoming, and likely smells of blunts when it burps." [3] PopMatters suggested the album is "a reminder that Brodinski helped plant the seed but is perhaps not the right gardener to help it grow." [4] Billboard called the album a "hazy, seductive blend of trap and techno." [5] while Clash Music asserted the album to be "one of the year's most disposable albums". [6]
