Critical reception

The Washington Post called the album "hard-hitting," writing that "there's no way it can recapture the impact of the band's '70s work."[6]

AllMusic wrote that "the biggest surprise is a churning, rubber-burning remake of 'The Message', Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's searing indictment of inner-city misery."[2]
