  ## Critical reception
  
  Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "It's just a little disappointing that S&M couldn't bring any innovations to the table here, as they have in the far too distant past." Bill Werde of CMJ New Music Monthly said, "It might not make the next easily marketable friendly face of urban music, but it makes for a damn fine album."
  
  Joshua Klein of The A.V. Club said, "A seamless mix of trip-hop, reggae, dub, rap, R&B, and funk, Smith & Mighty's second album may be the most enjoyable chill-out album since Massive Attack's opening salvo." M. Tye Comer of CMJ New Music Report called it "the most socially conscious and, arguably, most poignant album of the trip-hop era." Michael Paoletta of Billboard said, "Smith & Mighty have crafted a sound that can be best described as mood music."
