Nathan Rabin ofThe A.V. Club gave the album a mixed review, saying that there is "much to like about the album" but also describing it as "a bit of a letdown". He describes Del's production work as "inventive" but "largely monotonous and unnecessarily repetitive" and adds, "Equally damaging is the album's lack of form and structure: Many of its tracks sound like marathon free-styling sessions no one had the heart to edit."[ 6]
In 2005, Peter S. Scholtes ofCity Pages included it on the "Top 100 Albums of the 2000s" list.[ 7]
