Reviews"...the most inventive rap album of 1992...leaves you feeling that the problems facing America can be solved with conviction and a right-minded spirit...", Ranked #2 in Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 10 Albums Of 1992 - "...anyone who made even the mighty Public Enemy seem old hat--which Arrested Development did, easily--was clearly onto something...", "The songs were an original fusion of hip-hop, blues, soul and funk with an easy Southern vibe. 'Groovy' pretty much nails it.", 3 Stars - Good - "...Led by a newspaper columnist, they offer a critical overview of both black and white...When it all comes together, as on the joyfully funky self-help chant of "Give A Man A Fish," they're definitely on the right road...", Ranked #1 in the Village Voice's List of the 40 Best Albums of 1992., "...a fresh-sounding debut album... The band's beats actually sound joyful...Arrested Development is perhaps rap's most self-reflective act..." - Rating: A+, Included in Q's List of the 50 Best Albums of 1992., Highly Recommended - "...a heartland hip hop sound that successfully incorporates both grass-roots folk and hard, urban funk...reveals a hip hop agenda never heretofore so coherently arranged...", Ranked #2 in Spin's list of the 20 Best Albums Of The Year - "...true '90s pop anthems--socially progressive and roots-conscious..."
