    The lack of pretense on his second album makes him an approachable Everypimp, and he gets nothing but love from [his] guests. [Dec 2004, p.138]
  2. Entertainment Weekly

    The kind of slick, articulate boogie rap that may get Nelly to wondering if the Lou is big enough for the both of them. [19 Nov 2004, p.82]
  3. Los Angeles Times

    More consistent and satisfying than its predecessor. [14 Nov 2004]

    More solid than spectacular. [Jan 2005, p.83]
  5. It's not that the album isn't good, it's that it pails in comparison to "Jackpot."

  7. Jackpot is superior in every aspect.

    Pathetic commercial pop rap!We have artists liek Talib Kweli,Gagstarr,Common and Dilated Peoples who don't get recognised for their Pathetic commercial pop rap!We have artists liek Talib Kweli,Gagstarr,Common and Dilated Peoples who don't get recognised for their art.Having heard this album,I was disgusted.Chingy is clearly and obviously unskilled as an MC,has poor,contrived lyrics and tries to sound illiterate.
