Editorial Reviews 3 mics out of 5 - ...[They] construct their own novel arrangement by integrating 4 MCs, a female vocalist and a live band into one group....experimenting with a variety of eerie melodies and rhythms... The Source (08/01/2000)
...The entire album sound as if it were recorded under water: White noise surrounding minor-chord keys, marching strings, and bubbling sound effects....compelling... Vibe (08/01/2000)
...[They] defy trends their counterparts display without competeing with their own creativity... - Rating: B Rap Pages (08/01/2000)
...Enchanting and tough sounds with an uncluttered mix of live instruments and studio beats that keep the verbiage up front... CMJ (08/01/2000)
6 out of 10 - ...A mix of Fugees soul, RZA menace and a towering paranoia about the music industry....they've also got enough flashes of inspiration to indulge in jittery future funk... NME (02/03/2001)
...[They] have more in common with the Fugees, their musicality and sussed eclecticism shining through as chanteuse Ming Xia spars with 4 male MCs... Mojo (03/01/2001)
3 stars out of 5 - ...Hip hop for people who don't really like hip hop... Q (04/01/2001)
5 out of 5 - ...16 tracks, none of which outstays its welcome....reference points include Ol' Dirty, Erykah Badu, Fun Boy three, Stereo MCs, Kelis, and a host of Latin, hip hop and reggae. They're just super. Muzik (03/01/2001)
