SF Weekly wrote that "Hurricane's tongue-twisting is reminiscent of vintage Run-D.M.C., a solid, no-gimmicks mixture of bold braggadocio and good-time party rhymes, but his music is straight, newfangled boom bap."[14] CMJ New Music Monthly concluded that some songs "takes Paul's Boutique blaxploitation funk and hardens it into a '90s rumble."[15] The Indianapolis Star stated that "the stereotypical [thug] banter detracts from an otherwise smart-sounding debut."[13]

Entertainment Weekly thought that the "rhymes are strictly meat-and-potatoes, but the back tracks—funky and flavorful—are a smorgasbord of homemade recipes."[12] Trouser Press opined that "Hurricane’s sinewy delivery and low-rider funk backing tracks make songs like 'Elbow Room' and 'Four Fly Guys' perfect for late-night beer-swilling."[16] Rolling Stone determined that the "combination of humor, finesse and musicality serves Hurricane throughout, integrating his dual roles on The Hurra into one smart, cohesive listen."[17]
