MojoDec 17, 2012Profound? Hardly. Fun? Indubitably. [Jan 2013, p.93]
-
Oct 30, 2012If the album never quite reaches the tune-packed heights of 808s, the overall listen is utterly melting.
-
Oct 23, 2012Bossalinis & Fooliyones is a taut, humble and profoundly aware medley of late afternoon joy--the best time to listen to it.
-
Oct 23, 2012Many of the tracks on Bossalinis & Fooliyones focus on typical hip-hop fodder, like struggles with women, weed, money, and success, but--when successful--avoid feeling contrived due to their heavy sense of apathy.
-
Oct 30, 2012On their proper full-length debut, a sound in danger of stagnation has been brightened and reconfigured in appealing ways.
-
The WireDec 7, 2012The beats are straighter and more polished, and a degree of shine has replaced bedroom-engineered grit. [Dec 2012, p.75]

Oct 23, 2012Bossalinis & Fooliyones, while not exactly what you'd call a mainstream rap album, is consistently accessible, and in thrall to a tangle of overground production styles.
-
Oct 23, 2012Like a lot of young artists who've been flash-fried by the Internet, these guys also aren't so much great as they are getting better, using public interest to spur themselves on. Bossalinis is cleaner and more varied than their mixtapes, but this album is also long.
-
Oct 30, 2012Bossalinis & Fooliyones is, at worst, an amiable enough diversion, at best it's very entertaining.

Oct 23, 2012When they do keep it 'cloud'--with the dissolving beauty of 'Cloud Body' and the fairytale-like 'Love Is Life'--the results are remarkable. But elsewhere, romance and originality suffer.
-
Dec 12, 2012Bossalinis & Fooliyones is a perfectly plain little rap album, one that's 70 minutes long for no real good reason and comes and goes with little remarkable occurring either good or bad.
