Melody Maker named The Sun Rises in the East "bloody essential", calling it "hypnotic and chilling as a blues party on Pluto" and "another step forward for hip hop."[11] NME said that "Jeru is more original than most [rappers]",[7] while The Source remarked that "the music both contrasts and complements his disjointed flow and deep poetical lyricism."[10] The Indianapolis Star wrote, "Skeletal, basic and tough, this rap disc ... is exciting for its directness, lacking only in its failure to take full hold of its theme promoting Brooklyn as the mecca of rap knowledge."[6]
