    Solid, solid cd. Gets better as you listen further. Rhymes and beats all tie together. Not the best work from either one, but plenty good enough.

    I listen to that album over and over again. I love the rich music and Acey is cool as always.

    More than a few productions provide the type of slick, West Coast grind that allows Aceyalone to play the Lothario but still sound like he's satirizing the lover-man archetype.

    If Magnificent City is occasionally over-friendly-sounding... well, so what? [Mar 2006, p.138]

    Aceyalone's deft merging of bookishness and braggadocio is a rare find. [17 Feb 2006, p.79]
