Critical reception
| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = | rev2 = Brainwashed | rev2score = favorable | rev3 = Cyclic Defrost | rev3score = favorable | rev4 = Tiny Mix Tapes | rev4score = Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "a brilliant sophomore effort from a major talent in modern hip-hop." Matthew Jeanes of Brainwashed said: "This could easily be the kind of record that gets people who typically dismiss hip hop and electronic music as glossy, vacant, or superficial to rethink that position." Tom Smith of Cyclic Defrost commented that "[there] are frustrating things about this album, but it's undeniably ambitious, uncompromising, and very consistent."
