Critical reception
Variety called the album "ambitious and frequently captivating." PopMatters called it "a largely successful, if derivative, melange of cultural and musical styles as diverse as the group's ethnic heritage." Exclaim! wrote that the album "is a pleasant enough American take on the trip-hop 'genre,' but it certainly doesn't advance the music or take risks with the sound."
