"...Best Album since 1990's Business As Usual....Shows No Indications of Closing Up Shop...", "...Hearkens to Epmd's Feel and Style on Their Early Recordings....A Funk-Filled Ride.", "...On their seventh - and grandest - album, EPMD dis hip hop hypocrisy while pumping the boogie..." - Rating: A-, 3 stars (out of 5) - "Rap works so much better when it's raging against the machine....undoubtedly tha' real deal.", "...the album deserves praise and props on the sheer strength of the duo's favorites....As long there are rare tracks to be sampled and grimy, street-worthy lyricists to hook up with, EPMD will always be open for business.", 4 out of 5 - "...EPMD rhyme as if the game's stakes involved neighborhood props insteadof major-label millions....Tracks...are so catchy and clever they practically dare trend-obsessed fans to ask for anything more..."
