music411Mar 26, 2007I found this relaxing record to be a very enjoyable listen. It is not over complex like many other El-P releases but it is afforded his thick production leaving the players a lot of room to meander as they choose. Not the best it could have been but certainly not bad for a casual jazz listen. Think anti-acid jazz.

Aug 24, 2015This Jazz album is a very enjoyable listen. It combines elements of hip hop electronic and jazz music into an interesting avant garde fusion. El p is quite talented.

E! OnlineA quiet, meditative effort. [5 Mar 2004, p.68]

A collection of nourishing soundscapes, all of which are just as jagged and defiant as El-P's hip-hop work.

For the most part, what hampers the recording is a reliance on a single type of musical form: the vamp. Over simple (and endlessly repetitive) chordal structures, the players just noodle.
