    A great comeback for Nelly. This album is on the same level as Sweat and Suit, with some of the best racks he's put out in years. Though there are a few disappointments such as "I'm Number 1", and the half sung "Long Gone", other tracks more than redeem the album such as "Go", "Making Movies", and of course "Just A Dream." One track that stood out in particular is Nelly's "Gone",A great comeback for Nelly. This album is on the same level as Sweat and Suit, with some of the best racks he's put out in years.

One track that stood out in particular is Nelly's "Gone", featuring Kelly Rowland. This song brings back memories from the classic "Dilemma." Overall, this is a classic and distinct album that marks the return of Nelly. A definite buy.… Collapse

    "Just A Dream" was a great opener to 5.0, and when I saw the critic and user reviews I was shocked. Nelly dropped a solid album, and I appreciate it much more now that the inferior "M.O." is out. A nice, smooth pop-rap sound that is very mellow.

    The fault lies in the lightweight material. [Feb 2011, p.84]

    Much like Brass Knuckles before it, 5.0 might just be another forgettable release from the St. Lunatic.

    If you're willing to put up with the headaches of finding and acquiring the right version though, 5.0 is a worthy follow-up to "Brass Knuckles" that should keep his millions of fans well satisfied.
