What The Critics Said
All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more...
Entertainment Weekly
Too often here, post-mortem producers dilute his power with garish backup singers and pop hooks. [4/20/2001, p.72]
New Musical Express
So, even the fact that these 29 tracks, including 3 remixes, have sometimes been re-produced, re-jigged and finely honed production-wise doesn't diminish the original effort involved.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nothing here quite matches the sheer awfulness of its title track and first single, which inexplicably samples Mr. Mister's "Broken Wings," but the album is uneven throughout, perhaps inevitably, given its two-hours-plus length.
Read Full Review >Sonicnet
The problem isn't so much that this album sounds dated (not surprising, as it was recorded back when Lil Bow Wow was in pre-K), but rather that the songs are so poorly mixed and produced...
Read Full Review >All Music Guide
Still, no matter how many of these admittedly incredible rhymes end up surfacing over time thanks to his mother's part-earnest, part-exploitative efforts, the bottom line is that 2Pac never finished these songs -- there are a few fully developed songs here worth marveling over, just not nearly enough to justify the album's double-disc length
Read Full Review >Wall of Sound
Multitracked to death, Until the End of Time lacks the intensity that made the original Makaveli's Don Killuminati: The Seven Day Theory so brash and exciting.
Read Full Review >CDNow
What saves what sounds from beginning to end like an extremely quick buck -- via material on a music equivalency level of farts and burps -- is Shakur's provocative presence, so urgent in both decadence ("Good Life") and desperation ("This Ain't Livin'") that he still seems here, at least in the spirit of his lyrics.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone
Heavy on outside contributions and certainly missing 2Pac's editorial control and final production decisions, Until the End of Time bops and weaves from peak to valley in schizophrenic fashion.

Brannon M gave it a7:
He is not a martyr by his own account. His gangster themes are tiring when you watch his documentary(Tupac:ressurrection) and realize how much smarter he was than he portrayed in his raps. I wish he was wiser and chose to uplift society rather than help it stay down. But he lived a depressive life due to his environment and it is unfair to blame him. Good posthumous release, i have to be in a certain(and rare) moment to listen to much else except the title track but it's a fair release.
Bremner gave it a0:
This album does something that 2PAC did a few years before its release-it stunk. Yes, just like his decaying body in the ground from whence he came. Good Riddance sir, good riddance. I am a hip hop fan , not a "Thug", ex Digital Underground dancer fan. He is what gave a bad name to hip hop apart from people just thinking it is not music. Whether you think it is music or not, it sucked when it came from the mouth of Tupac Shakur. He is a perfect example of what happens when there is no father figure around. All in all, i must say that this album is not good, did i buy it? No. Did a friend give me a copy? Yes. Lets just say that i gave it back and that i would rather buy a cd from an average guy selling them on the street than any artist signed to label that pimps their soul.
Fuck All You Critics gave it a10:
Tupac is back with another sick album that everyone should expect from the genius himself. the fact that any critic would hate on this album makes me sick. fuck all of you
Aln O gave it a3:
for gods sake let the dead, die already. and like other 'dead to soon' stars(coban, hendrix) hes more hype and myth than talent
Jabar A gave it a10:
