Reception
Let's Get Serious received generally favorable reviews from critics. Johnny Loftus of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5. Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club commented that "Let's Get Serious recalls The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands". He wrote that "PFAC's uneven but inspired Let's Get Serious is silly, self-indulgent, and sophomoric, and a whole lot of fun to boot". Jeff Weiss of Stylus Magazine said: "From the ad-libs of each faux-artist to the small jabs at the record executives' dietary habits and decorating tastes, the album plays out like a hip-hop version of This Is Spinal Tap".
Los Angeles Times named the album one of the most seminal releases from Definitive Jux, calling it "the gold standard of comedy rap records".
