Andy Beta of Pitchfork said: "While almost every second of Moodymann's oeuvre hearkens back to his hometown, Moodymann is perhaps his most explicit ode yet." [4] James Williams of Exclaim! described the production as "dark hypnotic melodies coupled with his signature chopped-up vocal tics, pulsing hardware synths and delightfully warped stories from his native home of Detroit." [2] Will Lynch of Resident Advisor said, "nobody else makes house records as weird and rich as this." [5] Ben Cardew of The Guardian called it "one of his most high-profile releases in years." [8]

Rolling Stone placed it at number 7 on the "20 Best EDM, Electronic and Dance Albums of 2014" list. [9] NPR placed it at number 8 on the "10 Best Electronic Albums of 2014" list. [10] Fact listed it on the "20 Best Album Covers of 2014" list. [11]
