Critical reception
Pat Levy of Consequence of Sound gave the mixtape a grade of B, saying, "Despite the record's relatively short runtime, so much humor, angst, and pure bohemian attitude are melded together with admirable results."[3] Zach Kelly of Pitchfork gave the mixtape a 6.7 out of 10, describing it as "a record that suggests the person who made it spends more time listening to rap music than actually making it, a paranoid loner with a baggie of bad acid trying to translate a stack of classic 90s New York hip-hop records in his basement."[10] He added, "Lakutis' real strong suit is the way he raps, punctuating words with a visceral intensity usually reserved for the frontman of a hardcore band, his flow almost functioning as a percussive element."[10] Alexander Tulett of Junkee commented that "Lakutis' delivery is sharp and emotive, and his beat choice is impeccable."[12]
It was listed as Stereogum's "Mixtape of the Week" on February 26, 2014.[13] Tom Breihan of Stereogum placed it at number 17 on the "40 Best Rap Albums of 2014" list.[14]
