Release

Critical reception

Bram Gieben of The Skinny gave the album 5 stars out of 5, calling it "[a] lost classic, resurfacing at just the right time." Marisa Brown of AllMusic said: "It's a great record, thoughtful and aware yet still laid-back and fun, and though it took a while to be released, it's better late than never to hear this, to be reminded of everything that hip-hop can be, both in the past and hopefully, continuing on into the future." Mike Schiller of PopMatters called it "one of 2006's absolutely essential hip-hop releases".
