The productions are much better than the songs.
-
The F.A.B.O.’s smooth, deadpan flow cruises over benignly commercial beats, and the overall effect isn’t hard enough to stand up to "official" street-issue hip-hop.
-
Street Dreams reveals itself as a hollow gem when Fabolous tries to have it all, unveiling a gangsta sneer so unconvincing it makes Nelly seem dangerous.
-
MojoThere is little truly distinctive here. [Jun 2003, p.113]
-
Q MagazineIt's raised a notch by the seductive combination of just-grimy-enough production and smooth vocals. [Jun 2003, p.96]
-
Dull missteps such as "Sickalicious" and "Into You" show a lack of creative vision that stunts him when the hot beats run dry.
-
Five decent tracks (only three new) does not make a good album, and that is why Street Dreams only improves on Fabolous’ debut marginally.
-
While a delight on guest appearances, he has yet to prove that he can construct memorable songs, let alone a solid album.
-
Most tracks trade impact for cheesy hooks, skittery beats, and rudimentary keyboard riffs that can't help but evoke that jiggly seizure-type shit Puffy's dancers were big into a few years back.
