gave the album a 7 out of 10, commenting that "Jonwayne's flow is verbose, cerebral and free-associative by nature; toss in the gruff delivery, and the MF Doom comparisons are inevitable.
"[8] Kyle Kramer of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.0 out of 10, saying, "His sound is minimal, in many cases relying on just piano and subdued drum pattern—live he uses just a sampler and a mic—which works to vivid effect.
"[11] Laurent Fintoni of Fact praised the album as "the sound of an artist who's finally found some balance between his rapper and producer halves.
"[9] In January 2014, it was named the Worldwide Winner of Album of the Year by British radio and club DJ Gilles Peterson.
