Entertainment Weekly called the album "crazy, crazy, crazy with snare drums, string basses, and a myriad of voices lunging from around corners to startle you; there are even guitar solos thrown in for good measure." The New York Times thought that "with a rhyme style that is as eclectic as all get-out, Bazerk and the No Self Control Band move from hard-core soul, reggae and funk to heavy metal with transitions that seem programmed by an agitated couch potato's remote control button ... Bazerk's rhyme skills, rawness and an admirable willingness to go where no rapper has trod make it all worthwhile." Spin opined that "stripped of its conceptual coating, this is dance music with a rap brain." Newsday deemed the album "a '60s soul revue re-born as a noisy and raucous rap posse." The Los Angeles Times concluded that "this scorching hip-hop debut salutes the spirit of James Brown ... The rhythms, rhymes and style changes (doo-wop to reggae) come at you with such speed and authority that it may take two or three listenings before you can even focus on the themes." USA Today called it a "multifaceted hip-hop celebration." AllMusic wrote: "One of the rowdiest, craziest, noisiest, most animated records the rap world has seen, Bazerk Bazerk Bazerk recalls everything from James Brown to Bad Brains to the Time to King Tubby to ... well, a great number of things—occasionally within the span of one track." MusicHound R&B: The Essential Album Guide thought that the album "has all the elements of its time," but that the songs don't possess any "lasting power." Track listing
