Critical response

The Source (8/95, p.79) - 3.5 Mics - Dope - "...The Luniz...take the typical Oakland sound to another level...a combination of insane lyrics and street-core knowledge....tight lyrics and tight tracks...a must to compete in this diverse rap game..."

Melody Maker (3/23/96, p.38) - Recommended - "...Luniz aren't gangstas, but playas....The lifestyle depicted on OPERATION STACKOLA involves claiming Welfare and carrying a bus pass so that you can still afford to smoke Indo and drink Tanqueray and wear the latest Phat Farm."

Rap Pages (9/95, p.26) - 7 (out of 10) - "...1995 is the year of OPERATION STACKOLA....a balanced attack of Yukmouth's laid-back delivery and Knumskull's pinched vocal pitch....the Luniz do mental atomic pile drivers on ears and heads while ripping up microphones..."
