Popdust
The New Toronto 3 is impeccably balanced and is a full circle record that seamlessly ties together all of Lanez experiences .

Ratings Game Music
On The New Toronto 3, Tory puts up a rap performance that is beyond stunning. As a listener, you’re going to love how hungrily he delivers his bars, you’re going to love how he straddles the line between braggadocios and humble, and most importantly, you’re going to love how he rides every single beat on the album.

NME
more depth and introspection than he’s given credit for.
-
The Times UK
tedious autotuned bluster.
-
No Gossip
New Toronto 3 has the same braggadocious Tory( with some help from Conner Mcgregor) with sprinkles of R&B Lanez.
-
HipHop DX
The New Toronto 3 is a microcosm of his discography: smooth pace and energized performances yet momentary lapses of stagnation en route to the finish line.

Tigers Roar
Overall, I like the message that this album is sending out to listeners. I would recommend this album to my peers. The message it gives out is one for all to hear. You can go from rags to riches. Where you start from is not always where you finish.

Exclaim
From the diamonds on the chains he hedonistically spits about while prospering to the shameless confessions he unveils at the nadir of despair, the way Lanez embraces his flaws makes his music stand out.
-
Technician
“The New Toronto 3” is a solid record, though the outside factors surrounding its release prove more interesting than most of its content. Tory Lanez is a free man now, and given how well he’s run Quarantine Radio, someone ought to give him a hosting gig whenever he retires.
-
The Sound Sports
The New Toronto 3 proves that Tory Lanez is a respectable rapper, but like a track star that spends his fall playing cornerback, it's clear that this isn't what he does best.
-
The Memo Podcast Network
For now, he is taking advantage of his moment, but it will extinguish quickly if he continues to disappoint with unrewarding bodies of work like Toronto 3.
-
Techtelegraph
The 16 tracks of “New Toronto 3” could be blamed for the drag, but it’s a fascinating impression – a deep plunge into Lanez’s psyche.
-
Music Xclusives
Though this is not the pinnacle of what Lanez can offer the music community, it is just another impressive addition to his long resume. The New Toronto 3 builds on the legacy of his mixtape series, and further proves that Lanez is here to stay because of his music, not only on the success of his bannable Instagram live parties.

Eleventh Ave Productions
The New Toronto 3 is definitely decent and it’s got a handful of bangers to throw on any playlist. No songs are particularly worse than others which says a lot for 16-track album.
-
JB Talks Rap
New Toronto 3 marks Tory Lanez independence as an artist, and it will be interesting which of his paths he follows: the sultry singer, the never-forgiving lover, the punchline rapper, or the ex-trapper. Either way, Tory Lanez is here to stay.
-
Clash Magazine
If this project is anything to go by then after ten years in the game, Tory Lanez’ journey is only just getting started as he delivers an immersive experience that sees him do what he does best both sonically and lyrically - having overcome trials and tribulations both publicly and personally - to start a new chapter of his career in the best form of his life.
-
Shifter Magazine
It’s a refreshing change in tempo. We’re treated to the same Tory Lanez brand of R&B we love―a nice bounce but with raw lyrics you probably wouldn’t want your grandmother to hear.
-
The Music Desk
You get the feeling it’s not Lanez’s label that’s dumbing him down and putting a straitjacket on his awesome creativity, but the man himself on this dull, depressingly clichéd album.
-
The Sunday Times
tedious autotuned bluster.
-
Celeb Mix
‘The New Toronto 3’ will not please everyone, neither is it intended to, but the crux of the album is to show rap at it’s most visceral, and ultimately, that’s what makes the album such a crucial listen.

What You Expect?
The New Toronto 3 is his most complete work to date, he shown and proved on this one.
