His calm articulation and clean beats never waver--where once he copped to vices and joked about dirty asses, now his “naked funk” is all about a craft that won’t quit. That’s impressive. But it’s also limited.
-
Alternative PressDel wisely keeps things simple on the audio front, lubricating many of his basic, old-school beats with the good old P-Funk bottom of his early years. [Mar 2008, p.147]

FilterThe result is not so much a breakthrough in ease of listening, but more a feeling that one of the greats is getting back in the ring to fight after tying one of his own arms behind his back. [Winter 2008, p.99]
-
on the whole, battle rap seems to be Del’s continuously preferred lyrical method. And though he does slice off a few zingers here and there across this album, nothing touches the 'Jaw Gymnastics' of his work on "No Need For Alarm" or "Both Sides Of The Brain."
-
We get tiny tastes of levity, but scarcely the sort of wit we’re used to.
-
Del sways wildly between hit and miss. And Eleventh Hour, for all its boisterous and awkward handling, fails with a resounding thud.
