PITCHFORK
They push each other and have fun doing it, and the result is a stadium-sized event-rap spectacle that still sounds like two insanely talented guys' idiosyncratic vision.

POPMATTERS
Watch the Throne succeeds in both and in giving us both sides of both artists—the braggadocio and the social consciousness—in nearly equal measure.
80
DROWNED IN SOUND
To be disappointed with Watch the Throne is to be disappointed with the rap game in 2011.
77
BEATS PER MINUTE
For all its shortcomings, Watch the Throne is still damn good.
60
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
Watch the Throne turns out to be a success, even if it isn’t the landscape-altering LP the world had hoped for.
60
MUSICOMH
The album overall is wholly inconsistent, with weak raps and weak productions poking holes through the greatness that's present.
