The Calgary Herald wrote that most of the album "doesn't rise about mediocre, unenlightened rap music."[7] The Chicago Tribune determined that Luvah "has a strong enough voice to cut through the technical wizardry."[8] The Orange County Register deemed the album "an encyclopedia of current black-music styles."[9] The Dallas Morning News concluded that it "features plenty of the playful sound mixing that has become the hallmark of band leader Mantronik."[10]
