  1. Billboard

    Snoop has found a happy balance between pop and hardcore. [25 Nov 2006]
  2. The New York Times

    A few too many of these songs sound like Snoop-by-the-numbers. [20 Nov 2006]
  3. Snoop plays to his storytelling strength, crafting a record to show he still cares about the music.
  4. Much of the time, Snoop's on autopilot.
  5. Tha Blue Carpet Treatment, for all its faults, isn’t really an awful album--it’s more a matter of the idea that when you’re given a daunting 78 minutes of media (and no skits, which is awesome), it’s easy to find a whole pile of problems.

    He's just retracing past missteps. [Dec 2006, p.100]
  7. Uncut
    40
    Snoop's patter soon descends into G-funk pastiche and cretinous misogyny. [Feb 2007, p.85]

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