Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club said, "The album's high-minded excursions into the realm of being and nothingness periodically lurch into navel-gazing self-parody, but Eyedea's passionate delivery and lyrical skills keep the disc grounded."[2] Brad Haywood of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.9 out of 10, stating that "[Eyedea's] rhymes are dense, literate, focused, often surprising and always amusing."[3]
In 2015, HipHopDX included it on the "30 Best Underground Hip Hop Albums Since 2000" list.[4]
