Reception

The critical reception was variable. Release Magazine noted that Garcia had "never been catchier and his unique combination of hip/hop beats and that slithery bass are firmly on point."^[1] Inside Pulse described it as sounding "like KMFDM" second-string tracks, and called it "less of a bad effort and more of a disappointment."^[2]
