The album peaked at #29 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart.[8]

Critical reception

[edit]

Variety called the album "ambitious and frequently captivating."[9] PopMatters called it "a largely successful, if derivative, melange of cultural and musical styles as diverse as the group's ethnic heritage."[3] Exclaim! wrote that the album "is a pleasant enough American take on the trip-hop 'genre,' but it certainly doesn't advance the music or take risks with the sound."[10]
