Critical reception
Grungecake Magazine stated that the album was short and sweet. London was able to show his skills by switching flows and riding the beat differently on each song. They would also go on to write that Drique London is a relatable artist, in the vein of most of North Carolina’s most known Hip-Hop artists: J._Cole, Little_Brother_(group) and Rapsody.
