RapReviews

David Maurer from laut.de rated the album with three out of a possible five points. Ludacris presented himself "in top technical form" and was "hungry as on the first day". After nine strong songs, however, the level in the last five pieces declined, with the guest contributions by Monica and Usher being criticized as “greasy droll”.
