David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it "an attractively familiar and nostalgic album, one that brings reminders of the informal collaborations found on early Lyricist Lounge or Def Jux compilations."[4] He added: "Songs are allowed as much time as they need, but the album as a whole is economical and right-sized at 11 tracks."[4]
