Show All-
Rolling Stone
Schizophrenic flows and old-age-wisdom-meets-street-knowledge buttressed by sea- chanty like choruses

Sputnik Music
Dark and ominous lyrics and productions make this a welcome inclusion to Jay's discography.

Focus Hiphop
It’s really just more of the same.

IGN
Because of this more somber, almost evil tone, the album is hard to digest at first listen.
-
NME
An intelligent man, with a gifted turn of slang, Jay-Z spits venom one minute and cools out the next.
-
Rap Reviews
It presents a fundamentally back to the basics approach to the way Jay-Z does hip-hop.
-
All Music
Much more invigorating than its predecessor, and almost as consistently entertaining as his best album
