The Los Angeles Times noted that some songs "are more concerned with educating and relating than with egos and bragging, using hot soul-flavored dance beats and infusions of jazz."[7] Trouser Press wrote that "DJ Premier provides samples, beats and rhythms that are perfectly adequate, if not up to his future level."[8]
All songs are produced by DJ Premier & Guru, except for tracks 5 & 13, produced by the 45 King
