Critical reception.
John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, describing it as "a mostly instrumental journey through moods and grooves with (slightly) less emphasis on the sprawling grandeur of one of the Midwest's best turntablists." He added: "Poised halfway between the grandiose sonic austerity of DJ Shadow and the turntable madness of most turntablists, Mr. Dibbs shows how it's able to age gracefully in hip-hop." Michaelangelo Matos of "Chicago Reader" wrote: "As a piece, "The 30th Song" makes a case for Dibbs as the most interesting turntablist currently working." Meanwhile, Thomas Quinlan of "Exclaim!" stated: "Like most Dibbs releases, "The 30th Song" is heavy on drums, with plenty of psychedelic layers and cuts added, but sadly it still doesn't live up to his best effort, resting somewhere between the skate soundtrack "Primitive Tracks" and his "Turntable Scientifics" masterpiece."
