The International Herald Tribune noted that Count Bass D's "raps are hard-hitting but mellifluous, minimum-expletive and laugh-sprinkled."^[7] In 2003, Rolling Stone wrote that the "hyperquirky debut ... imagined an esoteric, fully live hip-hop wonder world that transcended the generic boombap."^[8]
