Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying: "Two skills he has mastered in the past, mood and texture, make this record especially listenable, although sometimes the productions are so professionally crafted that they sound sterile." [4] He called it "a great showcase for his digital, beat-oriented productions and kaleidoscopic tastes." [4] Bram E. Gieben of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, stating that the album "has about fifty times as many ideas crammed into it as most hip-hop records, even without his mythic, hallucinatory, Hermetic philosophy-influenced rhymes."
