== Critical reception ==
In a retrospective review, The Fader wrote of the tracks, "They capture Lupe Fiasco at his sharpest, before his work turned to labyrinthine, high-concept opuses, and before it was saddled with carrying a school of rap ideology he never really identified with. The tone here is markedly different from the one he would frequently adopt on his debut album […] it lays things bare but isn't judgmental; it's meaner but more empathetic. It was Lupe without the baggage of history, and he never sounded exactly like this again."Thompson, Paul (May 2, 2019). "The Brilliant Ambiguity of Lupe Fiasco's 'The Truth Is Among Us'". The Fader.
