Stanton Swihart of AllMusic praised "Alphabet Aerobics". He additionally wrote that Gift of Gab "barely outshines Chief Xcel, who, par for course with the entire Quannum Projects crew, loads the music with clever samples and newfangled beats (especially on the funk-laced 'Clockwork') to keep things ever-inventive."[1]
