Reception
Situation has received generally favorable reviews from critics. Metacritic gave the album a score of 68/100, based on 21 reviews.
Oscar Pascual of SF Weekly said, "[with] rhymes that theoretically combine to make Situation a concept album about 1957, Buck creates a number of dark and desperate characters to tell a wide array of seldom-uplifting stories." Meanwhile, Alex Macpherson of The Guardian noted that "[there] are isolated moments of beauty - the spare piano loop of Ho-Boys, though nothing new, is evocative and effective - but little sticks in the mind or stimulates the emotions." Dan Raper of PopMatters commented that "Situation is a cool, collected set of songs from the veteran Canadian rapper, but you shouldn’t be expecting anything revolutionary—at least, not from the music."
The album reached #1 in its second week on Chart's campus radio chart, and peaked at #31 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart.
At the 2008 Juno Awards, producer Skratch Bastid was nominated as Producer of the Year for his work on the album.
