  1. 80
    If you are looking for a good party in your...well, pants, then Pants' new album Welcome is the one for you.
  2. 60
    Though Welcome doesn't quite congeal into an artistic statement--it's more like a collection of promising demos--Pants flips his shopworn styles with more panache than the average bedroom producer.
  3. 60
    Welcome is necessarily all over the place--and that place is pretty damn funky. [July 2008, p.108]
  4. Consistency isn't Pants' strong point, and the latter half of the CD falters with a spattering of sparse instrumentals that feel more like skeletal after-thoughts than fully developed creations. At the grandest moments, Pants accomplishes his mission of re-creating the dance-happy fun funk of Chromeo and Cameo, and the cardboard-spinning electro boogie of Arabian Prince and Egyptian Lover.
