Critical reception
The Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that "Kid 'N Play make the mistake of many rap has-beens, lecturing other rap acts without realizing how laughable their own sound has become." Billboard called the album "a grooving record that is enjoyable but lacks some of the charm of earlier efforts." The Washington Post acknowledged the album's more serious tracks, but wrote that the duo "refuse to conform and end up doing what they do best—be themselves ... That means throwing down upbeat, fun party songs such as 'Foreplay' and their latest hit 'Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody'."
