    Alternately gritty and bouncy beats by Organized Noize and DJ Sleepy can't quell the sensation of attending a school reunion minus the quarterback. [Jun 2004, p.85]
  2. Blender

    The bulk of One Monkey finds the boys trying too hard to distance themselves from their former weirdness. [Aug 2004, p.132]
  3. On their own terms, at least, they deliver.
  4. New Musical Express (NME)
    70
    Full of banging beats, big noise and abundant wit and joy. [26 Jun 2004, p.55]
  5. Vibe
    50
    Cee-Lo's soulful spirituality is sorely missed. [Jun 2004, p.155]
  6. Goodie Mob sounds newly rejuvenated, almost vivified by the tremendous odds they faced coming back instead of impeded by it.
  7. Mojo
    40
    There's nothing here that elevates the Goodies above the level of the ordinary. [Aug 2004, p.96]
  8. Its hardly a classic on par with 1995's Soul Food or 1998's underrated Still Standing, but it's a solid effort from a consistently interesting group.
  9. Uneven, especially compared to their earlier records, and less ambitious than the "bring it on" misinterpretation of the title might make you think.

    I guess CEE-LO was the brainchild of Goodie Mob. No where as good as "still standing."
