In a contemporary review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album an "A−" grade and called it "hip-hop as mystery, beauty, pleasure-as idealized aural environment." He said that RZA uses vocals musically, as the lyrical content is acceptable but not important, and that the album is more efficient than Curtis Mayfield's Superfly and John Lurie's Get Shorty in "the essential soundtrack service of consistent background listenability." Christgau ranked it the seventh best album of the year in his list for the annual Pazz & Jop critics poll. However, the focus of this album is on the songs, not the instrumental score of the movie. The song soundtrack features music from the film as well as quotations from Hagakure: the Book of the Samurai by Tsunetomo Yamamoto (translated into English by William Scott Wilson) as read by Forest Whitaker in the voice of the title character.
