Marisa Brown of AllMusic wrote, "It certainly shows the Juggaknots' maturity and their abilities as complete artists, and is a welcome return." Nate Patrin of Pitchfork called the album "one of the most immediate and accessible indie rap records of 2006" and "a strong reestablishment of a group too good to be forgotten." A. L. Friedman of PopMatters commented that "the lyrics are worth dissecting and the Juggaknots sound as good as ever."
