Rolling Stone - "On his excellent second LP, Earl Sweatshirt keeps deepening his game -- spooling out dense, mordant rhymes over zombifically blunted tracks as he somehow sucks you into his sunless reality."
Spin - "He seems intent on exorcising his mind, not wallowing in delusion."
Spin - "[This is] the sound of one of rap's foremost technicians shrugging off formalist concerns and bending all of his tools to articulate a suffocating dread."
Clash (Magazine) - "Lyrically, Sweatshirt still treads the perfect line between abrasion and introspection....This album finds the rapper focusing his trademark sputter on content over delivery."
