Critical reception

The Detroit Metro Times wrote that the EP "suitably reps Lady Sovereign's ample cockiness and lyrical zing."[10] Slate commended Sovereign's "tunefully bratty delivery."[11] Billboard praised Vertically Challenged's "hands-in-the-air breakbeats, Colecovision sound effects, [and] nut-job lyrics delivered in great Cockney fashion."[12]
