Editorial Reviews 3.5 Stars - Very Good - ...the Goats' outlook--free of misogyny and white devils, flavored with Black-Italian unity, heavy with hatred for the AmeriKKKan ruse--is as welcome in hip-hop as the Hendrix-like buzz that flutters throughout `TV Cops'... Rolling Stone (02/18/1993)
...in a word, unique....one of the most original and provocative musical journeys you're likely to take this year... Melody Maker (04/03/1993)
9 - Excellent Plus - ...a captivating mix of the Goats' East Coast rap roots and West Coast hip-hop....this is rap without a safety net, and the tightrope's on fire... NME (03/27/1993)
Ranked #12 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - ...A hard-nosed satire of the American way... NME (12/25/1993)
