The album peaked at number 38 on the "Billboard" 200 albums chart and at number 10 on the  Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in the United States. Critical reception. The "Chicago Tribune" thought that "producer-rapper Wild Style's mesmerizing musical compositions may be the group's strongest asset ... Dubbed the 'Rodeo' style, the work of the Windy City beatsmith contains insistent keyboard, twangy guitar and dynamic drum patterns that explode from the speakers." The "Chicago Reader" wrote that "the relentlessly hysterical, nasal speed-rapping turns the 75-minute CD into a suffocating sonic beatdown."
