Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Turning to his roots—hard-hitting jazz-funk beats, proud urban poetry, the righteous fire of both the pulpit and the Panthers and an abundance of sports metaphors—he's pounded together a defiantly old-school document that seeks answers for the present in the past." The Toronto Star said that Chuck "sounds in dire need of inspiration, having descended to the depths of rapping about talk shows and hyping his personal 1-800 message line." USA Today determined that "with hard-driving beats that recall old school soul and funk and a voice that many vocalists would envy, Chuck D is as provocative as ever."
