  1. With this album, the deejay only adds to his rep and further solidifies his place amongst Hip-Hop's elite producers and turntablists.
  2. DJ Jazzy Jeff still makes music that matters, which can't be said of his former partner.
  3. The Magnificent has an incredible range; Jeff does it all well, even when moving from soulful R&B ("Rock Wit U" with Eric Roberson) to basement hip-hop on the very next track ("Scram" with Freddie Foxxx).
  4. A smart mixed bag. [Oct 2002, p.106]

    It's very rare to find an album that you can put on and listen to from start to finish but this is one of those gems. Jazzy Jeff's production skills are sublime and The Magnificent is an absolute must-have for all fans of the sound of Philadelphia and soul and hip-hop in general. Expand
