Christgau's Consumer Guide A− [1]

In 2011, Pitchfork included it on the "Overlooked Mixtapes" list. [2] Writing for Pitchfork, Jeff Weiss described it as "a high-concept parody/love letter to the Golden Age, with a guest spot from Son Doobie and beats ostensibly raided from one of Buckwild's dusty crates." [2] Ben Westhoff of The Guardian said: "It's both a parody of, and a homage to, early 90s hip-hop, in which Serengeti raps from the perspective of a middle-aged white man named Kenny Dennis, an overweight telephone-booth repairman and family man who was formerly signed to Jive and beefed with Shaq."
