Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that the album "releases [MC 900 Ft. Jesus] from his growth-stunting reliance on technology, using a complement of competent live musicians to erect a rhythmically intricate, stylistically varied podium-noir jazz, percolating funk and jumped-up hip-hop are the fundamental struts — on which he recounts his troubled character studies."[8] The Washington Post wrote that "900 Ft's signature sound ... is an industrial/jazz fusion that's pegged to rippling piano ('Falling Elevators') or wailing saxophone ('Killer Inside Me')."[9]
