Tim Sendra of AllMusic wrote:"Whether it's a one-off or the start of a beautiful relationship,Jae and L'Orange sound made for each other and this collaboration is first-rate hip-hop storytelling." [2] Anupa Mistry of Pitchfork described the album as "an aesthetic concept record (billed,cringingly,as 'noir hop') that teasingly ponders the idea of gangster rap from another era—pre-Scarface,for once."
