Reception

AllMusic wrote: "Despite their fundamental vision, further listens will show Evolution Fight to be a deceptively intricate album (check the wonky piano loop that backs the ribbon-blown lyrics on the title track or the off-beat rhythm that backs a gospel sample on 'Up Above'), and that might make it more worthy of the City Centre tag of musical advancement than many more overtly abstract hip-hop albums." Stylus Magazine wrote: "Polemical without becoming condescending, superbly judged without seeming contrived, but most significantly a great listen that bounces you about, knocks you down, engages your head and has you belly dancing with glee, Evolution Flight is easily one of the year’s best releases." CMJ New Music Monthly called the album "consistently enjoyable and party-friendly."[1]
