May 21, 2013The rest of the album suffers from redundancy and some wasted opportunities with the guests, but Montana is a flossy tycoon first and a wordsmith second at this point, so his handing in a high-power mixtape instead of a focused debut is to be expected, and with a little bottle service, enjoyed.
-
May 21, 2013The Moroccan born New Yorker’s long-delayed debut finally arrives, and much of it lands with blunt force without quite demonstrating a fully formed vision.
-
Entertainment WeeklyMay 21, 2013French uses his debut to extend his deft command over white-knukled bangers. [24 May 2013, p.83]
-
Jun 21, 2013Montana's selection of trap beats falls flat. It's the kind of sweatshop beat-making mainstream producers have learned to accept as they cash their cheques.
-
May 21, 2013Excuse My French comes off as extremely formulaic.
-
Jun 5, 2013Mixed and mastered without nuance or mercy, the relentless blare of Excuse My French becomes a paradoxically ambient experience.
-
Jun 26, 2013Littered with ignorance, braggadocio and uninspired production, French Montana's debut release is less about him and more about the guests that his label have brought in to help hide his lack of skills.

May 21, 2013When these mantras connect, they’re indelible. When they don’t, it’s like being smacked in the face repeatedly with an iced-out chain.
-
May 28, 2013On Excuse My French, he's outshone and undervalued.
-
May 21, 2013[A] vacant record-by-the-numbers.
-
Aug 6, 2013Every word hits hard. The quicker beat turns his lethargy into something of a strategy, and he sounds like no one but himself.
-
Jun 4, 2013Excuse My French so blatantly plunders rap radio's past and present that once one stops expecting anything original there's little left to do than mentally catalog the references. Yet while French Montana isn't doing anything new, he's also not doing anything wrong.

The SourceJul 2, 2013Rather than allowing the first three tracks to help craft a template for the rest of the LP, the other 10 tracks are watered down by concept-less, feature-heavy songs. [Jul 2013, p.87]
-
May 24, 2013Excuse My French is a good album, possibly the best one the Coke Boy could make.

Nov 12, 2013This album is the worst of the worst. Nothing here is good, and he is as bad as Chief Keef. What I advise you to do is move along and skip this album.
