Mike Powell ofRolling Stonegave the album 3 stars out of 5, saying, "Their second album isn't as radically unusual as its well-regarded predecessor, but the template remains the same: eclectic without getting wacky, thoughtful without getting preachy, full of great wordplay over beats that tie hip-hop to a history of all-purpose head-nod music from funk to electro and beyond."[10]Nate Patrin ofPitchforkgave the album a 4.8 out of 10, calling it "scattered and frantic."[9]
