    Vocalists Tash and J-Ro are so compelling, you wonder why ex-Lik Xzibit gets all the attention. [27 Jul 2001, p.72]
  2. Their fourth album rarely disappoints...
  3. Blender

    The weirdest hip-hop album since OutKast's Stankonia. [Jun/Jul 2001, p.112]
  4. In lesser hands, such a narrow lyrical focus might grow tiresome, but the group continues to make drunken belligerence seem downright charming, thanks to smart lyrics and perfect timing.
  5. X.O. Experience is more commercial and polished than the group's previous three efforts.
  6. Alternative Press
    60
    Occasional missteps keep X.O. Experience from being a bottle of the top-drawer stuff, though it'll still leave you with a good buzz. [Aug 2001, p.91]
  7. Yet while the familiar spirits-soaked verses of J-Ro and Tash will reassure old fans, it's the music here that should encourage them to set down their cans and bottles and listen.
  8. Uncut
    60
    Sonically exhilarating, yet the lyrical content remains as alluring as vomit on a Sunday morning pavement. [Sep 2001, p.104]
  9. On X.O. Experience, their fourth album, the buzz wears thin.
  10. While the album stays true to the group's legacy of alcohol-themed, head-nodding party anthems, it falls short by schematically aping other artists' music.
