Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote: "Consistent, irreverent, and imbued with an undercurrent of maturity and thoughtfulness, Trilogy proves that ... Souls of Mischief has found a way to thrive in major-label exile." [4] (The New) Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that Souls of Mischief "remain four great freestyle battlers without the musical gifts to craft great songs." [5]
