Critical reception
[edit]The Orange County Register wrote: "The production by Oakland's E-A-Ski is the album's high point. Most of the beats are creative, unique and not hyped-up '70s samples."[4] The Houston Chronicle thought that "while Conflicts & Confusion's tales of the urban war zone break no new ground, Crime Boss' lyrical skills and the solid production lifts the overall product."[3]
