Critical reception
Exclaim! thought that "revenge fantasies and mic bravado only go so far from two average MCs."[6] The A.V. Club wrote: "Encompassing everything from Marvin Gaye quotations to circus organs to old-school, Too $hort-style drum patterns, the members of The Beatnuts flex their production muscles throughout A Musical Massacre."[7]
AllMusic called A Musical Massacre "among 1999's most entertaining hip-hop albums."[1]
