Robert Christgau | A− [2] |
Stanton Swihart of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, saying: "The musical backdrop actually maintains the same high standard as the rhyming, something that had occasionally plagued past efforts from the Project Blowed crew." [1] He called it "one of those albums destined to go undeservedly neglected but deservedly revered." [3] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club said: "Haiku D'Etat gets better with each listen, with every spin yielding a greater appreciation of the three MCs' chemistry and the surprising layers of subtlety and sophistication lurking beneath the deceptively simple production." [4] Orlando Weekly called it "one of the most amazing hip-hop albums of the decade." [5]
The album was placed at number 22 on Robert Christgau's "Pazz & Jop 2001: Dean's List". [6]
