    He sticks defiantly to formula, hustling a string of synth-heavy, syncopated club jams. [#14, p.134]
  2. Street Dreams is a little too padded for its own good, and a handful of tracks suffer from all-too-familiar samples that have been used in recent hits by other artists.
  3. His laid-back delivery and glitchy computer beats are only interesting for so long.
  4. Five decent tracks (only three new) does not make a good album, and that is why Street Dreams only improves on Fabolous’ debut marginally.
  5. The productions are much better than the songs.
  6. Dull missteps such as "Sickalicious" and "Into You" show a lack of creative vision that stunts him when the hot beats run dry.

    The ideas are thin and the beats thinner. [14 Mar 2003, p.66]
