    The rare hip-hop debut that does justice to its buzz. [Apr 2003, p.104]

  2. Rolling Stone

    He's supported by the most accomplished set of beats in recent hip-hop memory.
  3. The A.V. Club

    Freeway's strangled voice and tortured delivery convey gut-bucket desperation even when he's rapping about the good life.
  4. Village Voice
    70
    Works its way up to a lively, beat-wise sleekness.

    Freeway delivers a strong album that should lay to rest the speculation that his unique vocal style -- alternating between a scratchy crack and an anything-but-gruff shout, filtered through a consistently high pitch -- would have difficulty remaining tolerable across a full album.
  6. Q Magazine

    Comes laden with flashy A-list cameos. [Jun 2003, p.96]

    Freeway is great on guest appearances, but it seems that he can’t string together an entire song by himself.
