Suzanne Ely of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a grade of "A−", commenting that "this oddly captivating country-rap hybrid of an album suggests we're entering a new frontier in hip-hop, with Buck as the foremost pioneer."[5] Matthew Murphy of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.0 out of 10, writing, "though the album probably serves as an accurate snapshot of his headspace at one fixed point in time, the mercurial nature of Buck's talents have fated this to seem as yet another transitional work."[6]
