David Morris of PopMatters gave the album a mixed review, saying, "2Mex falls short of bringing truly next level shit, but he's really doing his damnedest, and there's definite pleasure to be had in hearing him reach."[4] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! called it "a good album with a nice unified sound."[3] He stated that "Longevity's production is primarily minimal drum-programming and unusual sound effects, while Mixmaster Wolf layers plenty of scratches that give the tracks more depth."[3] Dave Segal of XLR8R wrote: "From the militant first track, 'Obey,' with its grandiose horn stabs, scratches from Breakestra's Mixmaster Wolf, and hypnotic organ riff, 2Mex thrusts you into the apocalyptic funkiness and exhilarating existentialism of golden-era crews like Public Enemy, X Clan and Poor Righteous Teachers."[6]
