Pitchfork	7.4/10[3]

Matt Kallman of Pitchfork gave the EP a 7.4 out of 10, commenting that Sprain Your Tapedeck combined "the hilarity of his Biscuithead 12-inch debut (1999's 'Sing It, Shitface') with the nostalgia of the recent Critical Beatdown-era tribute track 'Ultra 88'".[3] Stanton Swihart of AllMusic gave the EP 3 stars out of 5, calling it "a continuation of the Edan aesthetic, part wild-style throwback and part future Dada, where old-school 808 drum loops mingle with the rapper's one-of-a-kind b-boy world view."[2]

The Wire included it on the "2003 Rewind" list.[4]
