Critical reception

Tim DiGravina of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, commenting that "As the title suggests, things are a bit more old-school, at least on parts of this outing, with more tracks than usual foregoing Vibert's trademark wacky voice samples, though the anime and educational film voices are still at the heart of some of the songs." [1] Nate Dorr of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10 and said, "Indeed, the album is good enough, but it could have been better than that with a little further care and development." [3]
