Tim Sendra of AllMusic wrote: "Whether it's a one-off or the start of a beautiful relationship, Jae and L'Orange sound made for each other and this collaboration is first-rate hip-hop storytelling."[2] Anupa Mistry of Pitchfork described the album as "an aesthetic concept record (billed, cringingly, as 'noir hop') that teasingly ponders the idea of gangster rap from another era—pre-Scarface, for once."[4]
