"Jarel is a fair partner and best as a hypeman or techno-minded partner behind the scenes, and while "Guv'nor" is so Brit it smells of fish, chips, and Beckhams, it's a distracting or absent concept elsewhere. Still, Doom drops "Depends on your status or your stacks, sir/Whether you benefit from the prior or the latter-er" as if it was nothing, and with plenty more of these moments hidden inside, fans will find that Key to the Kuffs goes from confusing letdown to intriguing mystery after just a couple listens".

"Key to the Kuffs may in fact be JJ's finest hour, surpassing his Dr Who Dat? and Shape of Broad Minds releases. He sources an array of samples from TV shows featuring stereotypically-accented cockneys; he unleashes creepily creaky beats that could have graced the first Wu-Tang album; he plonks DOOM on electro-influenced club tracks (STILL KAPS and the extraordinary Wash Your Hands, literally about the importance of toilet hygiene); and is wholly unfazed by big-name guests".

"Her på JJ Dooms debutalbum Key To The Kuffs optræder ingen ringere end Thom Yorke, Damon Albarn og Portisheads Beth Gibbons. Mens MF Doom himself excellerer med sin grusvej af en stemme, der krøller sig snedigt tøvende og lumpent bumlende gennem Janels raslende, ridsede, klikkende og vakuum-pumpende loop-landskaber. Det er fremragende".
