ResonanceProblem is, the harmonic rapping takes the edge off otherwise hard-hitting tracks. [#28, p.63]

SelectQuality Control' finds them treading water with a set of technically crisp but strangely uptight tracks that neither appeal nor enthrall. [July 2000, p.108]
-
Despite the fluid interplay of the four MCs and J5's evolving musicality, 'Quality Control' lacks the singalong pop immediacy of 'Jurassic 5'.... Quality then. But it's not the old-skool classic we'd hoped for.
-
Why is Quality Control -- an album no doubt many will love simply because of its hip- hop politics -- so damn bland? For all their good intentions, J5's results are so monochromatic, of such a singular focus on staying true to a specific kind of hip-hop blueprint, that even the inclusion of grinning left-field randomness... lacks the fun it means to inject.
