  1. All Music Guide
    90
    Leave It All Behind is a concise and complete set of songs that brings out the best of both producer Nicolay and Phonte.
  2. PopMatters
    90
    This talented duo has made one hell of an album, actually one of the best of 2008, in the process.
  3. Prefix Magazine
    80
    With electronic and live sounds, emotional production and excellent vocals from some of the underground scene’s best, Leave It All Behind is an open and experimental take on hip-hop and soul, highly successful, at that.
  4. The A.V. Club
    58
    Nicolay has never been afraid to go soft and smooth, but his production on Leave It sometimes borders on easy listening.
