Spin (p.134) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e has a nihilistic half-sung, half-chatted flow...that transforms brutally boastful lyrics like 'they fear me' and 'marrow will fly' into mournful, hypnotic laments."
Uncut (p.109) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[H]is alternately brittle and bombastic voice thrills as frequently as the subject matter menaces."
Vibe (p.130) - "In the tradition of rude-boy singers like Junior Reid, Pinchers, and Tenor Saw, Mavado brings an utterly original vocal style, which carries his album to great heights."
