Reception
The Independent said about the album, "On their first album in eight years, Cypress Hill still sound like no one else."
AllMusic reviewer Fred Thomas said that "Thirty years into any music career, the pressure is generally off. Cypress Hill, active since 1988 and best known for their weed-friendly gangsta rap hits from the '90s, could easily rewrite and revisit the ideas that made them famous for the rest of their days and fans would delight in the familiarity."
The Guardian said of the album "Most episodes of the superb HBO sitcom Silicon Valley end with a musical outro: usually banging hip-hop. This album by Cypress Hill should make the music supervisors’ job on season six a doddle."
