    He delivers all this with passion and booming authority: the teacher is back in front of the classroom, where he belongs.

    The Sneak Attack proves this pioneer and innovator's run is far from over. [Aug 2001, p.90]

    Sadly, Sneak Attack also reflects the influence of Professor One's recent ubiquity on the college-lecture circuit; windy speechifying interludes take up a third of the record. Too bad -- when he does rap, he shows twice the gusto of many rappers half his age. [Jun/Jul 2001, p.112]

    He still commands attention, but his booming voice and confidence now deliver warmer, fuzzier messages.
