Boston Weekly - "This book serves as the quintessential Wu-Tang reference, as well as proof that The RZA's multiple personas are real. The same can be said of his entire Clan, which is not only an anomaly in a genre where most groups dissolve before they meet their potential, but also the only crew that warrants having a B.I.B.L.E. to tell its story."

New York Times Book Review: "A glance at the chapter titles -- ''Martial Arts,'' ''Capitalism,'' ''Chess,'' ''Organized Crime,'' ''Technology'' -- presents the recipe for a worldview that made this nine-member group the most distinctive force in urban music of the 1990's… There's something touching about the RZA's account of how kids from the projects learned life strategies and ethics from kung fu movies, and something weirdly inspirational about their ability to take those lessons and expand into brand extensions like a Wu-Tang comic book and a nail salon."
