Critical reception
Template:Music ratings AllMusic called the album "an excellent LP of battle rap with Lord Finesse simultaneously claiming and proving his immense skills over a set of funky backing tracks."[3] In 1998, the album was selected as one of The SourceTemplate:'s 100 Best Rap Albums. In 2003, Spin labeled Lord Finesse "an MC who packed more wit and flow and rhythm into a tossed-off couplet than most brought to a whole LP."[4]
