| AllMusic |   [2] |
| Pitchfork | 7.4/10[3] |
Matt Kallman of Pitchfork wrote, "Combining the hilarity of his Biscuithead 12-inch debut (1999's 'Sing It, Shitface') with the nostalgia of the recent Critical Beatdown-era tribute track 'Ultra 88', this record is a retardedly good time."[3] Stanton Swihart of AllMusic called the EP "a continuation of the Edan aesthetic, part wild-style throwback and part future Dada, where old-school 808 drum loops mingle with the rapper's one-of-a-kind b-boy world view."[2]
The Wire included it on the "2003 Rewind" list.[4]
