Noel Dix of Exclaim! wrote, "The New York producer mashes together a lot of rock licks, Bollywood breaks and children's records to make a diverse offering that keeps you paying attention and, more importantly, is fun to listen to."[3] Scott Thill of XLR8R commented that "his ear for rump-shaking anthems is as tight as ever, which is why rappers are clamoring more to work with him."[4]
