Allmusic reviewer John Young wrote that "The band sounds like a stripped-down, unambitious Rage Against the Machine—and though this couldn't have been the intention, for better or worse, SX-10 is more enjoyable than most of the Cypress Hill you're likely to hear". [4]

The album was reissued in Europe with new artwork and re-titled as Rhymes in the Chamber in 2004, on the Music Avenue label. [5]
