AllMusic	[2]
Pitchfork	7.4/10 [3]

Matt Kallman of Pitchfork wrote, "Combining the hilarity of his Biscuithead 12-inch debut (1999's 'Sing It, Shitface') with the nostalgia of the recent Critical Beatdown -era tribute track 'Ultra 88', this record is a retardedly good time." ^[3] Stanton Swihart of AllMusic called the EP "a continuation of the Edan aesthetic, part wild-style throwback and part future Dada, where old-school 808 drum loops mingle with the rapper's one-of-a-kind b-boy world view." ^[2]

The Wire included it on the "2003 Rewind" list. ^[4]
