Tim Sendra ofAllMusicwrote: "Whether it's a one-off or the start of a beautiful relationship, Jae and L'Orange sound made for each other and this collaboration is first-rate hip-hop storytelling."[2]Anupa Mistry ofPitchforkdescribed the album as "an aesthetic concept record (billed, cringingly, as 'noir hop') that teasingly ponders the idea of gangster rap from another era—pre-Scarface,for once.
