Francesco Nunziata of Ondarock gave the album a 7 out of 10, writing:

He said of Celestaphone's rapping, it's "metà strada tra la declamazione di un profeta su di giri e il ghigno sardonico di uno che ne ha viste tante, prima di decidere che la cosa migliore da fare è raccontare, non agire."[3] (English translation: "halfway between the declamation of an amped-up prophet and the sardonic grin of someone who's seen it all before deciding it's best to narrate, not act.")

OG Nick Marsh from Focus Hip Hop, giving the album a 93 out of 100, said "This album is amazing. I think this is the best project I’ve heard from Celestaphone, which is saying a lot." and added "The production from Celestaphone is absolutely spectacular, and the lyricism is stunning as well." Alessandro Corona of Livore gave the album an 8 out of 10 and wrote "Spinto fino ai limiti massimi della sua poetica, Murphy si è ritrovato a tagliare e castigare tutte le sue influenze e a dare un’effettiva take metamoderna, iperrealistica, tongue-in-cheek sul passato, sul presente e sul futuro della musica toccata dal producer. Tutte le incertezze di scrittura colano nel campo estetico della bellezza imperfetta da outsider;"[2] (English translation: "Pushed to the utmost limits of his poetics, Murphy found himself cutting and chastising all of his influences and giving a truly metamodern, hyperrealistic, tongue-in-cheek take on the past, present, and future of the music touched by the producer. All the uncertainties of writing seep into the aesthetic field of imperfect beauty from an outsider.")
