The production was handled by DJ Devastator, Smokin' Joe, Mathematics and Dred, with RZA serving as executive producer.

Ralph Parfect of NME praised the song "Where Was Heaven" and considered Joe Mafia's rhymes to be "fluent" and "dizzying".

[2] AllMusic's Keith Farley commented on the album's production and considered it "far from the worst Wu-Tang cash in".

[1] Jonathan Bonanno of The Source praised the group's "emotional lyrics" that "paint vivid cinematic pictures of street tales, gun battles and flashbacks to the yayo-slanging dreams", but thought they get repetitive as the group lacked experience.

He highlighted the production, which he called "prodigious", for its "harmonious guitar riffs and eerie, piano-accompanied bass lines".
