[3] Stefan Braidwood of PopMatters gave the album 5 stars out of 10, saying, "His beats continue to be hypnotically bare-boned, old skool synth assault platforms, over which he then reels you in with his ceaseless syllabic slurry, his lyrics almost irrelevant as his ridiculous flow blurs everything into an inescapable rhythm."
