AllMusic
Restless and ceaselessly imaginative, Tribe perhaps experimented too much on their debut, but they succeeded at much of it, certainly enough to show much promise as a new decade dawned.

Focus Hip Hop
This album is great. I think it’s a flawed project, but there isn’t a single track on here that I actually think is bad. There are just a handful of tracks that stand out a lot more than others.

The Daily of the University of Washington
This album revolutionized a world of hip-hop that hadn’t fully existed prior to its release. They gained widespread attention for transforming the rap scene. Projecting the group into a long line of fame, the album experimented with a wide range of techniques, including experimental sampling and flowing transitions from one song to the next.

Pitchfork
A Tribe Called Quest's seminal debut is an album that's largely focused outside of itself and its creators.

Genius
The album features very mellow themes and playful subject matter ranging from stories of misfortune to a healthy diet. It also explores more traditional concepts and topics, such as getting through life and expressing style.

PopMatters
So the album comes out, and it’s brilliant for the way it expands our glimpse into the universe of A Tribe Called Quest, far beyond those little sneak previews.
