[3] Nate Patrin of Pitchfork called the album "one of the most immediate and accessible indie rap records of 2006" and "a strong reestablishment of a group too good to be forgotten." [4] A. L. Friedman of PopMatters commented that "the lyrics are worth dissecting and the Juggaknots sound as good as ever." [1]
