Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Her flow has the freewheeling energy of the battle freestyle, and often forgoes narrative in favour of a stream of boastful non-sequiturs about Mortal Kombat and Blue's Clues , but, through sheer force of charisma, her blunt edges still cause major damage."[ 10] Writing for Noisey , Robert Christgau gave the album a grade of "A", calling Princess Nokia "the most complete New Yorker to hit hip-hop since Heems if not Nas."[ 15]
NME listed it as the 32nd best album of 2017.[ 16]
