Granted, Nelly's rapping here is more restrained and insubstantial than ever, but when you have a cast of collaborators like this, the actual rapping is beside the point -- these are fun songs, plain and simple, and wonderfully catchy to boot.
-
As much as Nelly likes to portray himself as everybody’s favourite fun-filled club star, “Suit” suggests that writing thoughtful, intelligent and enduring R&B is where his heart really lies.
-
Nice and musically diverse.

Entertainment WeeklyNelly sounds more convincing and appealing on Suit [than on Sweat]. [17 Sep 2004, p.75]
-
Los Angeles TimesIn these moments of reflection, Nelly emerges as a serious songwriter who moves the mind as effectively as he does the body. [26 Sep 2004]
-
Nelly pushes crossover so far on a few of these tracks a few of his more hardcore fans may be turned off, but frankly since this is a concept album songs like "N Dey Say" are what I expected from "Suit."
-
Both [discs] combine into one excellent combo platter, proving Nelly as one of the most clever and effusive pop minds around.
-
In his world, being grown and sexy doesn't mean being complacent - it means being curious, maybe even brave.
-
VibeThere are plenty of surprises on Suit. [Oct 2004, p.184]
