Ned Raggett of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Working with a variety of his countrymen throughout, who tackle everything from guest vocals to a variety of instruments, Krush sets the late-night, smoky urban mood from the start and doesn't let up throughout."[2] He added: "Funky beats are spare but effective, launching grooves that unfold just enough over the course of his tracks, edgy and slightly unnerving."[2]
Trouser Press called the album a "milestone, a dizzying collision of genres."[5]
