  1. As much as Ladd continually references the past, from Dr. Livingston and Picasso to Minor Threat, Funkadelic, and De La Soul, he moves the air with a beat that's entirely his own, the sum of too many parts to reflect any one too prominently.
  2. The diversity audible throughout 'Nostalgialator's' 11 tracks makes the album feel like some surreal kind of trans-generic mix tape.
  3. Uncut

    This could be his masterwork. [Sep 2004, p.108]
  4. The Wire

    Nostalgialator is exhilarating, eschewing rhetorical rap fury in favour of a satirical masqued ball of capitalist obsessions. [#246, p.52]
  5. Q Magazine

    It loses its way in the last quarter, but not before you're convinced there's a unique talent at work. [Aug 2004, p.115]
