Q Magazine (6/93, p.100) - 3 Stars - Good
...while old attitudes are revisited, [the album] is no
nostalgia trip....The fashionably jazzy samples utilise a
refreshing amount of '60s Pacific Cool, the production is clean
New York style...a performer that can make just about anything
sound interesting...
New Musical Express (4/10/93, p.32) - 8.5 Stars -
Excellent Plus
...shows rap's first bona fide superstar extending his lyrical
and musical ranges to often mesmerizing effect....at times it
seems like LL's using other rappers' styles, until the
realization dawns that he invented most of them years ago...
New Musical Express (12/25/93, p.67) - Ranked #33 in New
Musical Express' list of `The 50 Top LPs Of 1993'
...lean, mean and groundbreaking to boot...
Entertainment Weekly (4/9/93, pp.50-52)
...treats [rap basics] with the same pride and dignity an elder
bluesman would give four-bar chord changes and done-me-wrong
lyrics....the music never stays still....packed tighter than a
pound of headcheese..." - Rating: A Entertainment Weekly
(12/31/93, p.116) - Ranked #9 in Entertainment Weekly's list of
`The Best & Worst Records Of 1993' - "...New jacks on
the block could still learn a thing or two from that smooth
charismatic mouth of his....
