It's a summery set that serves as a nice break from Class.

Alternative PressAnother Gym Class record this ain't; with the help from a host of co-writers and producers, McCoy comes across like a pop star who can spit a fast-talking line and croon to the cheap seats. [Jul 2010, p.128]
-
The 10-track album's inclusion of reggae-influenced beats and dance jams may polarize listeners, but its snappy wordplay and deep introspection will appeal to a wide demographic of music lovers.
-
This is not a world-beater by any means, but it shows some growth in McCoy as an artist and lets him get out his ideas before recording and releasing the next Gym Class Heroes album.
-
Half brilliant, half laughable solo debut from Gym Class Heroes front man.
-
Even though every track on the album isn't a keeper, like the Auto-Tuned "Superbad" or the Black Eyed Peas-style "We'll Be Alright" (which borrows the hook from Supergrass' "Alright"), it has some solid additions to any summer playlist and will definitely please fans of Gym Class Heroes.
-
McCoy employs too many disparate styles for Lazarus to hold any attention for more than a fleeting period.
