Critical reception

The Washington Informer wrote that "these brothers hit you in the head with common sense and a little Christianity ... the music is hip-hop divinity with a mature voice."^[4] The Commercial Appeal thought that "while taking a Book of Revelations view, the group's musings on 'The Beginning Of The End, 'Behold A Pale Horse' and 'Sodom & Gomorrah' reflect the current, apocalyptic trend in gangsta rap."
