    The production is exquisite. A lush, cosmopolitan collection of sounds spread out and allowed to coalesce. The album is quiet, subtle and monastic.

    Oddisee is a hyper-eloquent, charismatic rapper, and this album is buoyed with lyrical wit and lush instrumentation. [Jul 2015, p.57]

    Oddisee makes good music that deals with real life issues with wisdom and humility. Oddisee is not only fighting "The Good Fight," he's winning.

    If there’s an elegant groove hiding in a lost soul record, Oddisee’s found it, from the horns of “Contradiction’s Maze” to the bells of “Counter-Clockwise.”

    He may be prolific, but he certainly isn't spread too thin, as The Good Fight is inspired, infectious, and artistically grand.

    Oddisee challenges uninitiated music lovers to engage with his ideas and his formidable body of work.

    The Good Fight is a streamlined reminder to ignore the restraints. Great music is great music, no matter where it comes from.

    He's more class than charisma. [Jul 2015, p.111]

His experience as an instrumentalist truly shows in this composition, and the lyrics are truly unique.
