    Araab's willingness to stretch keeps For Professional Use Only engaging throughout, which is no easy task; it's 67 minutes long, about 15 minutes longer than a typical festival set and probably 15 minutes more AraabMuzik than anyone needs in one sitting.

    The album may have its shortcomings, but in the end it is a solid statement on his appreciation for varying forms of production and his intent to further embed these during his live sets and upcoming studio albums.

    For Professional Use Only's long run time and failure to effectively sequence and transition between instrumentals for a more cohesive experience hamper its impact on the casual listener.

    Third time around there's some deviation from the formula, but the lack of subtlety is a little wearing. [May 2013, p.95]
