CRITIC REVIEWS

AllMusic

When an artist is as talked about and hyped as Drake was in 2009, it's easy to write them off as an industry creation or some kind of fluke. So Far Gone shows that Drake is for real, and works as a tantalizing teaser for his first full-length record.

Entertainment Weekly
For those unfamiliar with Drake’s ambidextrous style — crooning Auto-Tune love songs one moment, spitting clever bars the next — it’s a handy primer. Everyone else can put the neurosis-exploring new cut ”Fear” on repeat and continue anticipating.

PopMatters
One of Drake’s best lines in “Best I Ever Had” mentions his buzz being so big that he could get away with selling a blank disc. And, in a way, that’s exactly what he has done here.

I'm Goin' In remains one of my favorite songs of all time. Best I Ever Had is such a freaking bop. everything else is forgettable

A formula that would be greatly improved in Thank Me Later.
