Marisa Brown of AllMusic said, " rhymes and beats are more focused, clearer, and more intelligent than a lot of what else is out there, and he writes well-done, backpacker-friendly songs that are also catchy and memorable." James Mayo of XLR8R described the album as "a record of timeless soul-infused hip-hop." Kevin Jones of Exclaim! commented that "While his flow may feel a little loose at times, Hezekiah surrounds himself with enough vocal heat (Freeway, most notably) to pad out this well-rounded collection of neo-soul survivalist hip-hop." Roman Cooper of HipHopDX stated, "He possesses a rare combination of lyricism, charisma and passion on the mic, backed by an equally impressive musical backdrop."

PopMatters placed it at number 81 on the "101 Hip-Hop Albums of 2007" list.
