Dimitry Elias Léger, in his review for The Source, commended the group for their lyrical abilities and imagination, but criticized their transition from a softer sound of their debut album to a more aggressive style, saying that they lost their originality. "With their departure from the original lyrics and the mind-expanding grooves [...] they seem to have left their charm and creativity behind", added the journalist.[1]
