    Jean's histrionic singing and simplistic lyrics can intensify his material... or derail it via self-parody. [Dec 2003, p.138]

    Jean's ambition and eclecticism are admirable as ever, but the further he strays from his hip-hop roots, the less vital he seems.
  5. Rolling Stone

    Mostly tepid adult-contemporary black pop. [22 Jan 2004, p.69]
