The album was controversial because Babygrande took Jean Grae's vocals without her permission and she was largely unaware of the project until it was announced.[1] Years later, Jean Grae responded to a question about the album by writing, "It was a shit thing to do. Fuck babygrande."[2][3]
Michael Kabran of PopMatters gave the album 4 stars out of 10, saying, "the album lacks the cohesion and comes across like an uneven mixtape, assembled without an active contribution from all parties."[1] Meanwhile, Ben Meredith of URB gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "a powerful hip-hop album, extraordinarily eclectic, and a real treat from the Jean Grae/Blue Sky Black Death collaboration."[6]
