Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "a brilliant sophomore effort from a major talent in modern hip-hop." [3] Matthew Jeanes of Brainwashed said: "This could easily be the kind of record that gets people who typically dismiss hip hop and electronic music as glossy, vacant, or superficial to rethink that position." [4] Tom Smith of Cyclic Defrost commented that "[there] are frustrating things about this album, but it's undeniably ambitious, uncompromising, and very consistent." [5]
