Rolling Stone (8/11/94, p.69) - 3 Stars - Good - "...fat-bottomed, mellowed-out sound that conjures up the days of way back. It's lazy, loping shuffle suits the Southern California climate..."

Q Magazine (9/94, p.117) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...A series of street-level raps are given welcome injections of ironic, anti-misogynist humour via brief cuts like Gangsta Sermon on an excellent album which, overall, remains heavy on melody and light on machismo..."
New Musical Express (8/27/94, p.39) - "...The rap album of the summer..."
Entertainment Weekly (6/24/94-7/1/94, pp.100-101) - "...the smooth atmosphere he generates is irresistible..." - Rating: B+
