Pitchfork7.0/10[7]

In a positive review, Pitchfork praised Yeat's unique style and energy, and felt that it was one of his strongest efforts to date, writing: "Rage rap can be rote and exhausting, but in small doses—like on the Portland rapper's new pared-down and hypnotic album—the style can be ridiculous fun, electrifying, and hyperreal."[7]
