Reception

In a review on RapReviews.com, Steve "Flash" Juon commended several producers featured on the album, but also lauded Dre, saying, "Dre proves he is an able producer behind the boards himself, with the heavily twonked out sound of “Early Retirement” (in which Dre declares himself 'doper than a Bobby Brown piss test') and the old school throwback drum’n’bass style of 'Hear Me Now.'"[1]
