Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "an excellent LP of battle rap with Lord Finesse simultaneously claiming and proving his immense skills over a set of funky backing tracks." In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Sources 100 Best Rap Albums. In 2003, Spin labeled Lord Finesse "an MC who packed more wit and flow and rhythm into a tossed-off couplet than most brought to a whole LP."
