3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...the Brand New Heavies bring a bold mixture of funk, acid and jazz to the sphere of rap....the Heavies prove that hip hop can survive without samples....A must for your collection....consistently entertaining..."

Musician - 10/92, p.100

"...delivers a few superior jams....generally engaging results..."
Paste (magazine) - "It's a treat to hear the various rhymers on this record -- Masta Ace, Kool G. Rap and Black Sheep, among them -- adjust their flow and lyrics to meet the laid back funk of the Heavies. As fun to listen to as it surely must have been to make."
