In a mixed review, Alphonse Pierre ofPitchfork commented that the album's name is "an attempt to convince the music world that their X-rated anthems of tricking and scamming haven't lost any edge" as the duo are "on a mission to regain their spot as the dirtiest, most provocative hitmakers in rap. Too bad they sound too splintered to get there" as "they don't feel like they're on the same wavelength nearly often enough".[ 5]
