The record is rife with brow-raising darts and the mindblowing beats to match, outstripping the last two Dilated records and threatening the alignment of your neck vertebrae in the process.

VibeDespite a few failed revolutionary anthems, DP still has enough verbal ammunition to ignite the mind. [Feb 2006, p.130]
-
What 20/20 does best is portentousness and the empty brag - essentially male traits that make listening rather like being hectored by the pub bore.
-
While 20/20 might be a shade too unambitious for casual listeners expecting another Expansion Team, DP heads looking to kick back and listen get plenty of pure underground to devour.

Entertainment Weekly[A] noncommercial gem. [3 Mar 2006, p.103]
-
It's safe to say that with "20/20" they've created another album that will serve their core audience well.
-
Dilated Peoples' orthodox appeal has always been its aversion to gimmicks and flash, but on this underwhelming album the venerable trio offer little in the way of humor or excitement, either.
-
Had this been Dilated's second album, I probably would have found it a lot more entertaining. But it's not, and the moments of originality were few.
-
Less a great album than a group of scattershot bangers.
-
It’s essentially front-loaded, packing its most powerful punch in the first few tracks and then simmering to a lower level of heat.
-
New Musical Express (NME)A not-bad record. [11 Mar 2006, p.43]
-
Q MagazineAn oddly anonymous disappointment. [Apr 2006, p.113]
-
UrbAny track... could comfortably fit on any of their previous efforts. [Apr 2006, p.84]
-
SpinDJ Babu's soulful, pyrotechnic turntablism straddles the indie-mainstream divide. [Apr 2006, p.91]
