The album was reviewed in the Daily Nebraskan, which summarized that "the record fits together like a collage, with some pieces that certainly seem out of place" giving it a C+ overall.[5] The Village Voice critic Robert Christgau highlighted "Southern Girl" and "Night Riders" while summarizing up the album as "having fun with the human beatbox (and friends) in the studio (and on stage)".[3]
