Reception

Steve Huey of AllMusic gave the album 4 and a half stars out of 5, writing: "Much of the album's success is due to fantastic production by Madlib, who takes his place as one of the West Coast's most imaginative trackmasters, underground or otherwise."[1] "The rapping, by Madlib and Wildchild plus a guest roster of West Coast scenesters, is consistently high-quality," he said.[1]

Del F. Cowie of Exclaim! gave the album a favorable review, commenting that "[while] there are minute traces of their inebriated associates found in their system, their willingness to experiment is the strength they build on to forge their own identity."[3]

Meanwhile, Stephen Thompson of The A.V. Club called it "a bit of a letdown, primarily because the band's relentless emphasis on keeping it real and defeating wack MCs gets mighty damn dull over the course of 24 tracks."[2] He felt that "Madlib's P-Funk-inspired cut-and-paste production is impressive, with tracks stopping and starting and bleeding into each other, but inventive production only gets you so far."[2]
