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." Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times called it "a smart, subversive swag-rap record."{{cite web|first=Jeff|last=Weiss|url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2011/09/in-rotation-flash-bang-grenadas-10-haters.html|title=In Rotation: Flash Bang Grenada's "10 Haters"|work=Los Angeles Times|date=September 11, 2011|accessdate=June 19, 2018|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160603200706/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2011/09/in-rotation-flash-bang-grenadas-10-haters.html|archivedate=June 3, 2016}}
