Nick Marx of Tiny Mix Tapes wrote, "Onry and JFK ground their abstractions throughout in a coherent attack on the contemporary hip-hop landscape."[7] He added, "like any artist well-versed in the conventions of horror, the duo knows how to deliver superficial schlock while slipping in a message."[7] Marisa Brown of AllMusic commented that "they're interested in the extremes of human experience, as if they don't really believe what they're saying, but that they like the way it sounds."[5]
