Critical reception
Chris Smith of Stylus Magazine gave the album a favorable review, saying, "this is a fine record, and an absolute must for fans of oddball, rule-breaking hip-hop production."[8] Ron Hart of CMJ New Music Report said, "El Producto and DJ Mr. Len — now the group's sole members — twist up a series of instrumental tracks while maintaining breaks steady enough for rhyming and b-boy poppin' and lockin'."[3] Charles Aaron of Spin called it "the group's most skilled production work yet, layering meticulously warped electro passages and sinister guitar riffs amid vivid, gritty beats."[10]
In 2015, Fact placed it at number 48 on the "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.[11]
