    Most of Let It Go is solid, but there are some skippable tracks.

    Excessive interludes drag the runtime and make the project feel a bit unfocused--but these missteps don't subtract too much from the overall premise.

    If J. Dilla has been Detroit hip-hop's most influential recent figure, then DJ HouseShoes is the stern, no-frills custodian of that legacy, known to regulate violators and opportunists circling the music James Yancey created.

    There are hints of Shoes' mentor Dilla in the woozier beats, and grittier curs such as Nails show where his reputation comes from. [Sep 2012, p.107]
