    Basic and fun hip hop, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, except for a few notable tracks (such as "Absence of Light" and "Communion") , the album isn't too special. But basic and fun hip hop is always better than bad hip hop.

    Maximum Balloon, obviously, is not your typical TVOTR tour de force. But it doesn't aspire to be. What it simply seeks is to make your ass shake.

    Overall, Maximum Balloon is a generally pleasing collection, if not consistently striking. [Fall 201, p.68]

    Maximum Balloon really about a great producer/songwriter exhibiting his considerable talents free from the pressure and expectation of his day job.
