Mason wrote that listeners may not approve of the production quality, but noted that it had a "rough-edged charm" to it.
Writing on RapReviews in November 2005, Steve 'Flash' Juon responded positively to the album, calling Immortal Technique "a smooth flowing, rough hewn vocalist with an excellent sense of timing and breath control" and judging the production as "good to outstanding".
