Critical reception
John Bush of AllMusic stated that the tracks sound "a bit aimless without at least an occasional rap in front of them." Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! praised Dan the Automator and Kool Keith's collaborative tracks, stating that they "all demonstrate a creative partnership that is rarely found in hip-hop." He called Dan the Automator "a producer who can make beats that expose the various personalities of Kool Keith's different characters."Personnel
