Critical reception

Keyboard deemed the album "funk, old-school style," writing "think Jamiroquai crossbred with the Time."[4] The Charleston Daily Mail thought that "imitation is not an entirely bad thing and, all in all, the stuff is convincing and great for parties."[5] The Baltimore Sun wrote that DAG "delivers an old- school groove that's too deep to be written off as mere retro soul."[6]
