Reception

The album has received positive reviews from music crtics. A publisher from the Associated Press called this album "a celebratory affair. These are beats to cheers to. Beats to reminisce over. Beats that illuminate the grind." Sputnikmusic gave this album a 4.5 rating, calling "it one of the best hip-hop releases of 2015, easily taking the spot for the best instrumental hip-hop release for the year." A Canadian music magazine source Exclaim! gave this album a rating of 7 out of 10; it calls it "listening to this long-gestating follow-up, it would appear that not a whole lot has changed in the interim. That's not to discount the potency or worthiness of the project, but as one of the best hip-hop producers of all time."HipHopDX originally gave this album a 3.4 rating out of 5. However, in 2016, HipHopDX gave this album a 3.5 rating out of 5, calling it "An instrumental album full of jazz and funk samples sure to keep heads nodding."
