Critical reception
Entertainment Weekly thought that "songs like 'I-76', a goofball paean to his native Philadelphia, sound less like Ray Charles and more like Ray Stevens."[4] Trouser Press wrote that "the potentially worthy grooves found in the rim-shot soul of 'Lay Down the Law' and the jazzy hip-hop of the title track stretch into monotonous jamband crap that would make Dave Matthews apologize for his thoughtlessness."[5]
The Washington Post determined that "Love is at his best when he allows pop pleasures to shine through the montage of archival roots and hip-hop experiments."[6]
