The Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph considered the album to be "reminiscent of a time when house parties took place in basements, with blue lights in the sockets and where a hundred bodies danced in harmony to Sugarhill Gang tunes."[8] The Indianapolis Star noted that "scratches, drum machines and keyboards spit out dancehall reggae, but it seems Fresh hasn't spent any time developing rhythms or raps."[6]
