At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 79, based on 5 reviews. Michael Pementel of Consequence of Sound said, "Cube still embarks with this same purpose, and the effort proves to be one of the best albums in the latter half of his career". Kyle Mullin of Exclaim! praised the album stating, "Cube's vigorous delivery puts the album over, along with his willingness to adopt flows you wouldn't expect from an MC so long in the tooth".
