Allmusic ]Allmusic's Rob Theakston wrote that "Back 2 Base X" suffers from the same problems as "Amerika": it tries to be conceptual in thought à la
Tool and vicious in its political commentary à laFugazi orSystem of a Down , but somehow falls short by sounding like an angry stoner on a soapbox. It won't win any new fans, but existing fans of (hed) pe's work won't be turning their backs away from the band in anger anytime soon, either."
