Critical reception
The Calgary Herald wrote: "The rap 'n' roll beauty of New York's Fun Lovin' Criminals is that this feisty threesome not only take aim at the system but have real brain power beneath their toques, they not only reach deep into their grab-bag of sample tricks (from Pulp Fiction dialogue to musical bits) but the trio of Huey, Fast & Steve play their instruments in a way that drives the groove home, from power-chords and blues-jazz riffs, to James Bond variations and gritty, funky rap riddims." The Independent concluded that "this is one of the most infectious rap albums of the year, boasting a range of musical influences way beyond the narrow confines of tired old G-funk, and re-introducing rap to its roots in the blues."
