Reception

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club said: "The album's high-minded excursions into the realm of being and nothingness periodically lurch into navel-gazing self-parody, but Eyedea's passionate delivery and lyrical skills keep the disc grounded."[2]

In 2015, it was listed by HipHopDX as one of the 30 Best Underground Hip Hop Albums Since 2000.[5]
