Steve Huey of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying: "All the pieces add up to not just one of the best rap albums of 2002, but one of the richest, most captivating albums to emerge from hip-hop's artsy new underground."[1] Chris Dahlen of Pitchfork called it "one of those classic summer albums that crams in so much sound and so much life that listening to it is like going to a block party, all-day concert and a family reunion all at the same time."[7]
Pitchfork placed it at number 46 on the "Top 50 Albums of 2002" list.[11] Exclaim! listed it as one of the Top Ten albums of 2002.[12] Kludge included it on their list of best albums of 2002.[13]
