The album peaked at #103 on the Billboard 200 and at #5 on the Independent Albums in the United States.

AllMusic writer Bradley Torreano wrote that "Songs like 'CNT' are teenage anthems that actually have more than a passing similarity" to Detroit rapper Eminem, and "despite the fact that few outside the juggalo community will give this a chance, this might be one of the most accurate portrayals of the mood of most unhappy young people in 2002".
