NO RIPCORD

While it isn’t an instant classic like its predecessor, the album serves as a strong victory lap that highlights everything good about Raekwon.

79
PITCHFORK

It's leaner than both Linx records which also frees it from the weighty expectations game that dogged Rae since Immobilarity critically bombed.

70
DROWNED IN SOUND

It’s unlikely this record will be met with anywhere near the fanfare of his last, but Raekwon has proved himself capable of shining both in the limelight and the backseat.

70
POPMATTERS

As the track times are so short, it’s his energy that becomes the emphasis of the record.
