The San Diego Union-Tribune wrote: "Religion and politics aside, Griff has produced an intriguing, funky album. He proves himself world-class as a rapper, producer and arranger, mixing the usual studio trickery and sampling with a tough-sounding band that gets Griff's anger over to great effect."[5] The Sun Sentinel determined that the album "reveals a more mature raconteur who adroitly—and often humorously—exposes the absurd side of racial friction, while advocating black self-containment."[6]

The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph said that "the raps, stylishly put together and ringing with authority, are masterfully executed."[3] The Manchester Evening News opined that "an unbridled hatred overwhelms any merit in Griff's arguments."[7]
