Critical reception

The Calgary Herald wrote that Delinquent Habits "combine graphic, street-wise raps with hooks galore, with horns a la Herb Alpert and lyrics borrowed from the likes of Grandmaster Flash and Paul McCartney."[4] The Independent deemed the album "spaghetti western soundtrack meets west coast hip hop."[5] The Village Voice concluded that the album "fleshes out their new, politically conscious, mariachi mobster aesthetic ... [the] single of the same name moves away from Dre-influenced funk tracks and toward Latin horns and anti-Prop 187 text."[8]
