Critical reception
Zoneil Maharaj of
XLR8R gave the album an 8.5 out of 10, commenting that the album lives in both worlds of "the heralded cipher circle
Project Blowed and beat-head bastion
Low End Theory ."
[11] Jeff Weiss of
LA Weekly called it "one of the best and most forward-thinking L.A. hip-hop records in years."
[12] Andrew Noz of
NPR wrote: "His lineage is of the legendary Project Blowed open mic, breeding ground for underground heroes such as
Jurassic 5 and
Freestyle Fellowship , and you can hear the double-time jazz-rap madness of the latter spilling over into his rigid cadences."
