The Washington Informer wrote that "these brothers hit you in the head with common sense and a little Christianity ... the music is hip-hop divinity with a mature voice."{{cite journal |title=Rap/Hip-Hop |journal=The Washington Informer |date=June 11, 1997 |volume=33 |issue=35 |page=8 Suppl}} The Commercial Appeal thought that "while taking a Book of Revelations view, the group's musings on 'The Beginning of the End, 'Behold a Pale Horse' and 'Sodom & Gomorrah' reflect the current, apocalyptic trend in gangsta rap."
