Entertainment Weekly - 7/30/93, p.56

"...BLACK SUNDAY might as well be titled MORE SONGS ABOUT GATS AND BLUNTS. And that's just fine, because [Cypress Hill]'s basic formula--wacked-out Spanglish tough talk, deep bass & DJ Mugg's trademark squeals and sirens--is such a winner..." - Rating: A-

3 Stars - Good - "...dope hasn't brought [Cypress Hill] much peace: the bulk of [BLACK SUNDAY] are the usual threats and slanging....Thankfully absent from their hardcore stance is the brute sexism that normally goes along with such a tough guy routine..."

Melody Maker - 7/31/93, p.29

"...[BLACK SUNDAY]'s laid-back songs simmer with a violence just barely held in check...Cypress Hill capture that humid, heat-hazy unreal feel where walking the streets is like being inside a bad dream.."
