    Cam'ron has evolved on this no-frills release, and it is disarmingly effective.
  2. The New York Times

    The fabulously snotty attitude, the melodic wit, the rhymes that tend toward glossolalia: yes, Cam'ron has returned to form.

    He may have kept his lyrical gift hidden, but he didn't lose it.
