Entertainment Weekly concluded that "Young strings the words together nimbly enough, but they never come to life."^[6] USA Today noted that "the album ranges in style from [A Tribe Called] Quest's hard-core sound to soft pop, cool jazz and dancehall reggae."^[8] The Indianapolis Star determined that Young's "personality was formed by TV commercials, which can make for some fun, but his pointlessness dominates an otherwise energetic dose of hip-hop, jazz and funk."^[7]

AllMusic deemed the album "agreeable and likeable, with only a couple of embarrassing tracks."^[5]
