Critical reception[]

Vibe thought that A+ "can't decide whether he's a hardcore man or a playful youth on his understated sophomore album."[8] The Plain Dealer wrote: "By the time the disc reaches the scary 'Staggering and Stuttering' with Psycho Drama, A+ establishes his versatility and assured, confident flow."[9]
