Brian Howe of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.9 out of 10 and said, "Sole's socialist screeds work well when he raps them like he means them instead of couching them in layers of affected irony."[5] Dave Segal of XLR8R called it "Sole's most accomplished opus yet."[9] Meanwhile, Mike Schiller of PopMatters gave the album 3 stars out of 10, saying, "One or two songs in, the listener is convinced that Sole has something interesting to say; fifteen songs later, he's just an angry young man shouting about whatever."[6]
