Reception

  • Rolling Stone - 3 stars out of 5 - "The aural rummage sale brings some timely noise while proving D can still deliver lyrical knocks to the deserving."
  • Q - 3 stars out of 5 - "Bound to satisfy loyal fans."
  • Uncut - 3 stars out of 5 - "Brutally eloquent, anti-authority cyber-funk, PE are still fighting the powers that be."
  • Mojo - "Works very well indeed....Public Enemy are still making music of great substance and potency."
  • The Washington Post - "a marvel of snazzy production....musically speaking, the album never loses traction. Therefore, it is dismaying how much the lyrics muck things up....Chuck D. doesn't so much elucidate an issue as present topics of conversation, ladling out generous portions of ad hominem."
