Josh Langhoff of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, saying: "The beats by Lazersonic and Redinho churn and pop, squeal and squirm, and Riz tries to take the edge off by cracking jokes." Adam Kennedy of BBC said, "while his flow isn't the most natural on the block, the warts'n'all streams of consciousness refuse to exclude anything on his mind."
