The Charlotte Observer[7]
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette[8]

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that Dane's "brand of softcore is imaginative at times, but suffers from fragile, home-grown synth beats that lack the verve of real instruments."[8] The Charlotte Observer thought that "Dana's trippin' on wax now, searching for a beat, and even Battlecat (the dude that produced Domino and 2Pac) couldn't help him regain his seat."[7]
