Critical reception
The A.V. Club called the album "superb," writing that it "surveys a bleak world riddled with disease, warped values, corruption, and constant surveillance, but not without a sturdy sense of humor and a winning pop-art playfulness."{{Cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/blood-of-abraham-eyedollartree-1798200985|title=Blood Of Abraham: EyeDollarTree|website=Music}} LA Weekly deemed it "a mixture of trippy, band-oriented backpack hip-hop with a few guitar-rock tunes thrown in, and at least three or four solid singles."{{Cite web|url=https://www.laweekly.com/rap-and-revelation/|title=Rap and Revelation|date=November 15, 2000|website=LA Weekly}}
