  • New Musical Express [23 Apr 2005, p. 51](NME)- "As defiant as ever."
  • All Music Guide - "Those looking for a direct story of how Beanie earned three years in the clink will be somewhat disappointed, but these chunks of insight into the man's turmoil -- and the couple party tunes that go with them - add up to one hell of an album."[1]
