Brett Uddenberg of URB gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "a showcase of two of the west coast's wittier spitters stepping into a vocal booth and polishing their collective smirk into some bizarre gems."[8] Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times called it "a smart, subversive swag-rap record."[9]

It was included on Pitchfork's year-end "Overlooked Mixtapes" list,[10] as well as Alarm's "50 Unheralded Albums from 2011" list.[11]
