Alex Henderson of Allmusic compared Saafir's musical style favorably to such celebrated hip hop artists as A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Digable Planets, and the Pharcyde. Henderson also stated "between Saafir's rapping style and the jazzy production, Boxcar Sessions is fairly fresh sounding."[1]
