Critical reception
musicOMH wrote that the album "blends raw dancehall aggression with hip-hop sensibilities and an unshakeable sense of humour to create a sweaty, bombastic, and – above all – thoroughly enjoyable dancefloor-ready trip to the Steel City."[10] Rolling Stone called it "a riotously funny barrage of electro hooks and dancehall riddims."[9]
