    Despite the array of producers lined up--Including Danja, Darkchild, Polow da Don and Swizz Beatz--Diddy has corralled their work into a tight, coherent whole that's absolutely packed with ideas and creativity.

    It's easily the best work Diddy's been involved with in his entire career.

    The chilly Euro-house stylings may be a mite predictable but Diddy proves a generous curator, laying on blockbuster exhibits and atmospheric slow jamz alike in the greatest cast-of-millions hip-hop joint since, well, Kanye's latest.

    The album is a mess, but a hook-heavy, likable one.

    This is a great album that I fear will not get the recognition it deserves. Diddy doesn't skimp on any part of this album. Tons of great original productions and lyrics will make your drive to the clubs pretty fun.… Expand

    I really enjoy this album. Love the Dance and soul style to this album. This album is really good. Better than I expected. He uses dirty money to sing on the song while he raps and then the features , great job. Diddy did a great job with this album. One of the year best album. I was surprise with how good Last Train TO Paris was. I been waiting on this album for a while, i didn't expected this album to be really good. This is an album worth having… Collapse

    I had no intentions of even looking on Diddy's album cover. I must say though, that this is a solid album, with extremely strong production value. Great listen. The biggest problem with Diddy's album is... well... Diddy. He's always been a poor rapper, and that hasn't changed. "Coming Home" is such a beutiful song, but his amateur delivery really brings the song down. Thankfully, the album is not drowned in Diddy raps. In fact, at points you'll forget he's on it. The two Dirty Money ladies are solid, and the guest artists are generally good. Great listen overall. 7.5.… Expand

    With his latest release Diddy proves the fact that his work is forgetable. "Last Train To Paris" is an hour long mess of an album which showcases Diddy's inconsistency.… Expand
