Rollie Pemberton of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.2 out of 10, saying: "If Omid can manage to master a single style, instead of haphazardly attempting several approaches, he might yet carve his niche in the turbulent underground."[4]

The album was ranked at number 35 on CMJ's "Hip-Hop 2003" chart.[8]
