Critical reception

The International Herald Tribune noted that Count Bass D's "raps are hard-hitting but mellifluous, minimum-expletive and laugh-sprinkled." In 2003, Rolling Stone wrote that the "hyperquirky debut... imagined an esoteric, fully live hip-hop wonder world that transcended the generic boombap."
