Marciano's writing on the album received particular commendation. Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork described the album as "endlessly, almost impossibly entertaining" and wrote that Marciano "remains one of rap’s most brilliant stylists, the kind of artist who can make you wear out your rewind button despite being old enough to remember when you could wear out a rewind button."[4] Samuel Diamond of Tiny Mix Tapes remarked that the album "packs a novel's worth of imagery, mood, characterization, conflict and theme into practically every line."[5]
