The album received positive reviews from critics.

  • RapReviews - "Vinnie Paz is one of the angriest men in rap. He's been snarling and swearing his way through songs as the frontman of Jedi Mind Tricks for 15 years."
  • HipHopDX - "The album is an exciting break from the usual JMT formula, with Paz hitting his stride as a lyricist and showing a different and more fully-rounded side to his craft."

Notes

  • The single "Same Story (My Dedication)" was originally produced by Anno Domini Nation, but it has been changed on the album because of a problem clearing the sample from "Winter Song" by Sara Bareilles.
  • The album was reissued on August 28, 2020, celebrating its 10th anniversary in limited edition cassette tape and was released digitally as well, it contained 6 remixed songs.
