Rolling Stone
He articulates new struggles with love, and defines his next levels of success in familial rather than financial terms.

Focus Hiphop
His albums were on a downward trend for me, so I’m glad he kinda picked it up with this album.
-
Sputnik Music
A very poor grab for cash with untalented guest spots and uninspired rapping.
-
AV Club
La Familia, an album funny, funky, and infectious enough to give shamelessly materialistic pop-rap a good name.
-
NME
Minimal effort, maximum results.
-
Rap Reviews
Even when you expect the album not to click, it somehow manages to exceed your expectations.
-
All Music
Plays overall like a Roc-a-Fella mixtape rather than a Jay-Z album, which means you'll have to endure a lot of promotional posse tracks, particularly toward the end of the album.
