Critical reception
AllMusic – "...Allfrumtha I's eponymous debut appears to fulfill the potential of their cameos on the celebrated Westside Connection and Mack 10 albums...Allfrumtha I is a West Coast duo with enormous potential." [1]
The Source (6/98, p. 162) – "...the two serve up a scrumptious musical meal for fans to devour....this solid LP proves that these newcomers will be mainstays in this rap game." [2]
