Critical reception

Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, describing it as "an indie-electronica/hip-hop album that should thrill backpackers who are tired of soul- and funk-based beats and are looking for something fractured and galactic with that sad mechanicality that is a necessary element of any Morr Music release." Trent Moorman of The Stranger gave the album 3 stars out of 5, commenting that "Fat Jon weighs in like LL Cool J in his prime." Alan Ranta of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 3 stars out of 5, writing, "Production wise, Styrofoam's club-friendly, synth-driven electro-pop takes command." Steve Marchese of XLR8R stated, "As a duo, the two deftly weave their art and craft together, retaining their strengths while creating an even more taut and accessible whole." He called the album "An experimental, courageous, and wildly successful coupling of styles."
