"[2] Tom Semioli in his AllMusic review explained that the duo's use of sound blasts "tethers rhythms and harmonic motifs with funky bass samples and an in-the-pocket back-beat that echoes reggae and disco.

"[3] He described "Verse of the City" and "Stand" as expressing the duo's pride in its "ghetto savvy and learning", while "Stop the Music" at first tackles class conflict before unexpectedly veering inward to address fellow rappers.

[3] "Song Speaks", according to Semioli, "declares the spiritual importance of rap via jazzy piano riffs, scat singing, and thought provoking stream of conscious dialogue".

[4]Cross Rhythms' Peter Bate proclaimed thatUnlike many of their peers, the siblings offer a vertical dimension thanks to their faith which is forcefully expounded though never rammed down the audience's throat.

Matt Jost of RapReviews.com scored the album eight out of ten, writing "highly professional on all levels, "Stop the Music" is based on the stable chemistry this brother/sister duo has developed over the years.
