Reception
Adam Fleischer of XXL magazine noted that "La Coka Nostra remain decidedly true to their core with their new album" and "that they are indeed masters of the dark arts".[1] HipHopDX gave the album a positive review and noted that the album was a "sinister, happily violent detour from the pop-centric".[5] Peter Marrack of Exclaim also gave the album a positive review and noted that the album was "more or less a one-way ticket to hell".[6]
