Entertainment Weekly

His guests on Sunday bring ferocious beats (like will.i.am on ''In the Ayer'') and infectious hooks (Sean Kingston on ''Roll'').

RapReviews.com

He's a little bit Twista, a little bit Trick Daddy, and a whole lot Nelly. None of those things are negative, but the fact he can't distinguish himself from any of them isn't a positive.

Billboard

His hooks can be rock-solid ('Ack Like You Know') and his interest in gleaming synthesizerism (opener 'American Superstar' comes into 'Tubular Bells' territory, really) helps set him off from the legions of rappers clawing over each other to break out of the South.

The Guardian

Flo Rida himself is able and charismatic, but doesn't sustain a compelling persona on every cut, which instead stand or fall (mostly the former) on their production.

Blender

He has nimble delivery and a pleasing Nelly-esque hiccup to his voice. [May 2008, p.78]

Village Voice

The result is so robotic in its attempt to jolt every single pleasure center every single second that any twist of human joy, lust, awareness, or reflection is assimilated into its brittle, crunky Borg cube.

Los Angeles Times

Other than the album's highlight, the resonant break-up song "Still Missin'," Mail on Sunday rarely delivers.

All Music Guide

Here, he doesn't offer much more than a couple worthy singles and a handful of decent album cuts, and those highlights, such as the Timbaland-produced (and hogged) "Elevator," tend to be memorable more for the beats and the hooks than the rhymes.

Boston Globe

For every witty rhyme, there is enough cringe-worthy couplets.

Rolling Stone

For much of his debut album, Flo Rida seems like he's trying to match the broad appeal of "Low," but he has only limited success.

NOW Magazine

His subjects are the standard sex/money/hustler/romance/gangster fantasies, and all the new-millennium fast life references you expect.

Slant Magazine

He joylessly repeats all the tired tropes of Southern party rap (brand-name fetishizing, drug-trade mythologizing, stripper-bitch glorifying), and the album's best track has already been let out of the bag.

Barry C. gave it a1:
Its amazing to consider how ingloriously hip-hop has fallen to the astonishing low it is at now. This is the type of rap music that is playing on MTV right now.

Nick T. gave it an8:
Great songs. Theres no songs that are "in between" ratings, if a song is good on the album, its simply good. If its horrible, its horrible. Mixture of sounds. In The Ayer is a very upbeat "club" song, Dont Know How To Act is a "gangsta" in my opinion.

Dan F. gave it a2:
This album is embarassing for real rap artists.

Wes M. gave it a3:
Steve S. probably didn't even listen to the album; but unfortunately his rating is pretty accurate in this case.

Eric B. gave it a10:
Very upbeat CD, Amazing collaborations from Sean Kingstean, Will I AM, TIMBO, to Rick Ross. This CD shines with one of the best guest appearance lineup in music history. A must listen to; best tracks are Low, Roll, Elevator, In the AYER, and Miss Hangover.

Jake B. gave it a10:
Bloody excelent

Steve S. gave it a0:
Hip-hop generally sucks, and here's proof positive.
