AllMusic | [1] |
Muzik | 5/5[3] |
Pitchfork | 7.8/10[4] |
Nic Kincaid of AllMusic called it "the most legit hip-hop compilation out in 2002 on the label most important to watch."[1] Brad Haywood of Pitchfork said: "If Def Jux could be defined by any single musical element, it would be the beats."[4] He added: "The beats on DJP2 are dark, jagged, and intriguing, and not a single one of them could in any way be deemed 'danceable.'"[4]
