Critical reception
Steve Huey of AllMusic said, "Enough people heard the record to make it something of an underground legend, but its potential influence wound up unfortunately limited, especially given how forward-looking the music on The Album is." He added, "its key tracks are nothing short of visionary, making it an essential listen."

In 2015, Fact placed it at number 67 on the "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.
