Tom Moon, reviewing the album in Rolling Stone, hailed it as “one of the most emotionally raw albums of the year” and a record that “gathered musical strands from all over the pop universe into unadorned, remarkably intimate stream-of-consciousness musings on love, money, and responsibility”.
- Cody Chesnutt was nominated for Shortlist Music Prize in October 2003 and performed in the ceremony for the prize at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
- In 2005, he appeared in the documentary film Dave Chappelle‘s Block Party (also known as Block Party). The film and its soundtrack are dedicated to the memory of music producer J Dilla who died of lupus a month before the film’s release.
