| Source | Rating | 
| PopMatters | 6/10[4] | 
| RapReviews | 7/10[5] | 
Jason De Zilva of RapReviews resumed that the album "has everything to appease hardcore left-coast listeners, satisfy long-time fans and weed-heads, and rake in new heads who live for that melancholic melody laced with great verses and fitting samples".[5] Quentin B Huff of PopMatters wrote that the album is "loaded with gargantuan West Coast O.G. funk, sped-up samples, seriously catchy hooks, and -- yes, of course -- weed".[4] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! called the songs "a little boring overall", but praised "Revolution" as the album's highlight.[6]
