The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics. AllMusic gave it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "an entirely solid album," also stating "this freedom fighting and socially conscious writing is tempered with hooky club tracks that never fail." "USA Today" gave it 3 out of 4 stars, noting "his potent blend of hip-hop and dancehall gives him a flavor all his own." PopMatters gave the album a 6/10 rating, writing "although many of the tracks here are glossy pop productions, Kardinal has not really changed since he was first heard in the '90s." The album won the award for Rap Recording of the Year at the 2009 Juno Awards.
