    A strong statement from a veteran still pushing his artistic boundaries. [Dec 2006, p.170]
  2. A house party celebrating Snoop's whole career.
  3. "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment" is quite the mesmerising sonic experience.
  4. "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment" and its no-frills West Coast productions are refreshingly focused on Snoop, not his guests.

    A few too many of these songs sound like Snoop-by-the-numbers. [20 Nov 2006]

    Snoop's patter soon descends into G-funk pastiche and cretinous misogyny. [Feb 2007, p.85]

    Yo, yo, yo! This ain't Doggystyle, or The Chronic, but Snoop still got it. Still his crazy old self! You gotta love it!

    High five to Snoop. This album still notes that he can be old and still be a great emcee. Keep it up.

    This is a dope hip/hop album, it blows Jay-Z's Kingdom Come out of the water. The album starts off better than any album I can think of, This is a dope hip/hop album, it blows Jay-Z's Kingdom Come out of the water. The album starts off better than any album I can think of, with the first 6 songs being better than anything released all year, but sadly there are to many forgettable "Gangsta" tracks on this album. The best songs on this album are the laid back ones, and to many times he trys to inforce his gangster image, but don't get me wrong nobody does "Gangsta" better than Snoop, and even though the middle of the album is a little weak, this is still a hip/hop album that is more than worth the money Expand
