Jason Randall Smith of Impose said: "Musically ahead of its time while lyrically speaking in real time, Serengeti & Polyphonic have created an album that will likely get better with age."[1] Jesse Serwer of XLR8R praised Polyphonic's production, saying: "With nods to microhouse, drum & bass, dub, and ambient sounds, Polyphonic's beats have an entirely unique, otherworldly feel to them."[4]
Ben Westhoff of Washington City Paper placed it at number 6 on the "Top Ten Albums of 2007" list.[5] Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters placed it at number 20 on the "101 Hip-Hop Albums of 2007" list.[6]
