Critical reception
Sound In The Signals Magazine gave the mixtape a positive review, stating:
"When I listen to this mixtape I do feel that it lacks some things The Bake Sale had, and I miss those things, but in many ways I see new ideas developing and coming to fruition that make this group an undeniable force in hip hop. Nobody wants to hear the same thing twice and if there are hundreds of copycat groups, the best way to combat that is staying creative and I definitely wonβt take down a group for experimenting with ideas and trying to create a unique product."
