Spectrum Culture | 45% [5] |
Pitchfork rated the album 6.7 out of ten and described it as "a short, stylish legacy album born out of boredom and an apparent itch to jog the memories of anyone who might've forgotten that this rap thing wouldn't be the same without MC Ricky D." [1]
Rolling Stone assigned it three stars, noting it "resembles a visual album akin to Beyoncé's Lemonade, but without that piece's poetic reflections on Black identity and culture." [4]
It was given a score of 45 percent by Spectrum Culture, which remarked, "Despite one outlandish and provocative track, this album from a hip hop legend feels like a perfunctory lifetime achievement award given by the artist himself." [5]
