  1. The finest mainstream hip-hop album of the year.

    The real story here is Twista's rapping. [9 Oct 2005]

    Though it lacks the element of surprise, The Day After secures Twista's star status this time around. [Nov 2005, p.148]
  4. The New York Times

    Twista's fast but heavy rhyme style doesn't often leave room for charm or narrative or wit.... But his intricate verbal rhythms are more important than the words, anyway. [3 Oct 2005]
  5. Billboard

    Unfortunately, instead of eliciting the same response as its predecessor, ["Girl Tonite"] comes as a feeble attempt to copy success. Luckily, there are enough highlights to balance things out. [8 Oct 2005]
  6. Ultimately, The Day After is another middling album from a tremendously talented rapper who will never get the respect he deserves because he's all too eager to make compromised crossover records.
  7. Rolling Stone

    Feels predictable and unexceptional. [3 Nov 2005, p.96]
