Fred Thomas of AllMusic praised the project for having it filled with "harsh drill drums, intense flows, and intimidating ad-libs into compact presentations of fury and swagger".[7] However, Ben Dandridge-Lemco of Pitchfork gave it criticism by stating how "it feels lazily thrown together, with mostly forgettable songs" and that he has "yet to prove himself".[8]
