Entertainment Weekly (11/28/97, p.84) - "...As with his previous records, the hypnotic, noirish instrumentals are the main attraction. But rhymes by Finsta Bundy and Ken `Duro' Ifill rate, and when Rino busts it in Japanese, you hear the international hip-hop underground in full effect." - Rating: B+
Option (3-4/98, p.84) - "...it's no accident that trip-hop rhymes with hip-hop, and that's where Krush's heart lies....what makes the disc interesting is the variety Krush introduces via his wide mix of guest singers and rappers..."
Musician (4/98, p.90) - "...Krush's sparse beats, abstract melodic snippets, and insular atmospheres are a luminous surprise amid hip-hop's boastful gangstas and provocative female teasers....Krush plies old-school hip-hop with the experimentalism of the British trip-hop clan..."
Rap Pages (3/98, p.114) - "...this is Krush's finest and most complete album to date..."
