Melody Maker named The Sun Rises in the East "bloody essential", calling it "hypnotic and chilling as a blues party on Pluto" and "another step forward for hip hop."[9]NME said that "Jeru is more original than most [rappers]",[5] while The Source remarked that "the music both contrasts and complements his disjointed flow and deep poetical lyricism."[8]
"D. Original" is featured on the GTA IV Soundtrack and can be listened to on the radio station 104.1 The Classics hosted by DJ Premier. Unlike the other stations featured in the game, "The Classics" has one continuous mix of all songs featuring smooth transitions from every song to the next and so a slightly different version, exclusive to the game, can be heard there.
"You Can't Stop the Prophet" is featured on the soundtrack of the video game NBA 2K16. The soundtrack was partially curated by DJ Premier.[13]
