It’s a bigger push musically and collaboratively with less emphasis on the politics that have dominated his past.

PopMatters

On Prisoner of Conscious Kweli once again is working against that way of thinking by adopting unlikely styles, expanding his musical palette and collaborating with folks that people might not expect him to.

AllMusic

The album is well above worthwhile, as scattershot and frustrating as it is.

Pitchfork

Kweli’s absolutely owned his lane when he’s been committed to it but now he's jumping around from style to style with no destination in sight.

FACT Magazine

Instead of updating his sound and style for a contemporary audience, Prisoner of Conscious comes off as a series of half measures.

Modern sounding singles but there arent many good bars compared to his early work.

Talib Kweli's music is really hit or miss for me and this is no exception. I can't really boil down my issues with this album other than it gets boring at times.
