Trouser Press called Am I Black Enough for You? "a loud and proud album that uses spoken-word bites (political speeches, Star Trek dialogue, Richard Pryor crack-horror routines) to increase the consciousness."[7] The Washington Post wrote that "the raised consciousness and subtler production only make this the rapper's least distinctive effort: There's nothing on this one as abrasively hilarious, or as indubitably Schooly [sic], as the previous platter's 'No More Rock and Roll.'"[8]
