    A breakthrough for Slum Village. [Jul 2004, p.138]
  2. A parade of digital R&B jams that skillfully navigate the divide between cutting-edge headphone productions and bumping club tracks.
  3. A surprisingly solid disc characterized by the top-notch production that has always been the group's saving grace.

    T3's iconistic delivery and Elzhi's endearing and logistically strong raps hold it down, and collaborations shine brilliantly. [Jul/Aug 2004, p.126]

    If only rappers T3 and Elzhi had the personality to match the enticing soundscapes. [16 Jul 2004, p.76]

    Surprisingly strong. Proof that the Slum don't need Jay Dilla to carry them or sustain their career. My favorite hip hop album of last Surprisingly strong. Proof that the Slum don't need Jay Dilla to carry them or sustain their career. My favorite hip hop album of last year edging out the conceptual masterpiece of Dead Prez's RBG, but only just....

    I rate it a 7 b/c its average. Slum is better than this. Ergo the problem. Slum is not featrured on the album. T-3 and Elzhi are great I rate it a 7 b/c its average. Slum is better than this. Ergo the problem. Slum is not featrured on the album. T-3 and Elzhi are great MC's but the entire album is sorely missing Baatin and JayDee(production and lyrics). Fantastic Vol 2... Detroit Deli is NOT!!! Vol was a CLASSIC...Hopefully the will ALL reassemble and make another CLASSIC!!!! Expand
