Critical reception

Brian Coleman of CMJ New Music Monthly said: "Ranging from the mellow, soul-searching posse manifesto 'We Ain't Fessin'' to Buck 65's Dr. Octagon-ish 'Pen Thief' and Controller 7's excellent instrumental workout, 'Heckles From The Peanut Gallery,' Anticon's strength is obviously its range, with a thread of intelligence, humility and imagination running at all times."
