    "Murray's Revenge" clocks in at a meager thirty-three minutes, which is simply too short for a full-length album.... Regardless, he is back, and better than ever.

    Murs' sixth album sets his quick-tongued command over soul-flecked funk. [23 Mar 2006, p.67]

    On Revenge, Murs and 9th Wonder wisely stick to the winning formula that paid such rich creative dividends on 3:16--strong song concepts, minimal guest appearances, a brisk running time, dope beats, and lyrics both smart and smartass.

    Murray's Revenge is one of the better gang-unrelated and Dre-unaffiliated records to come from the West Coast since Murs' last one.

    There is a lot to be said for good chemistry. Nothing about this album is jaw dropping, but Murs and 9th play off each other so well throughout this short but sweet album that I don't really care.

    The only problem, then, is that Murray’s Revenge simply lacks the instant-classic feel of 3:16.

    Though a few recycled cliches stall the disc... Murs's payback is a big payoff. [Jun 2006, p.164]
