Farrell Lowe of All About Jazz described the album as "hip music coming from modern jazz, with hip-hop masters gettin' next to it."[2] Ed Howard of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of C, saying: "Despite being a very enjoyable listen from start to finish, this record also has a clear sense of unfulfilled promise."[6] Meanwhile, Marshall Bowden of PopMatters said: "With neither side ceding territory to the other, it is still apparent that these musical forms can interact in meaningful ways."[5]
