Critical reception

Aaron Williams of Uproxx praised its insightful handling of faith and criticism of organized religion, adding that "IDK’s raps are stitched through these rugged and sweet soundscapes alike with the stuttering grace of a power sewing machine."^[3] Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork, gave the album a score of 6.3 out of 10, describing it as musically and lyrically uninteresting with "a whiff of self-importance".^[1] Ryan Middleton of Magnetic gave the album a positive review, praising its "raw and authentic" lyricism and its "dark" trap beats.^[4]
