Reception
- Entertainment Weekly (1/7/2000, p. 68) - "Most of this rap-metal is surprisingly legit - and cameos by Lil' Kim, Fred Durst, and Kid Rock don't hurt." - Rating: B-
- Q magazine (4/2000, p. 96) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...big, thumping, sweary, contemporary noise. Lee is entirely serious; he has the group's name tattooed on his arse cheeks..."
- Alternative Press (3/2000, p .86) - 4 out of 5 - "...armed to the teeth with special guests, hopping between metal-edged techno and radio-minded hard rock. The surprise: It ain't bad, and a few of these tunes are 'really good'..."
- CMJ (12/27/1999, p. 5) - "...brass-knuckled, rhythmically dense, rap-rock....owing more to pop-industrial music and Bomb Squad production than it does to Fred Durst....one of 1999's grittiest, most heartfelt rap-rock albums..."
- Vibe (2/2000, p. 160) - "...combines heavy guitar riffs with insolent B-boy wordplay....As an exercise in funky head-banging, MAYHEM isn't half bad....producer, Scott Humphrey manages to mix up Lee's limited palette just enough to keep you tuned in..."
- NME (2/14/2000, p. 41) - 6 out of 10 - "...contains more than enough of the mysterious kick-ass factor....successfully hip-hop beats with some exceedingly heavy guitar riffing..."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
