==Reception==
''The New York Times'' writer Neil Strauss called the album "one of the year's best rap offerings" and wrote that "The Roots move indiscriminately from politically conscious lyrics (not just about black America but also about Bosnia, the Olympics and terrorism) to silly rhymes ('roam like a cellular phone/far from home')".〔 ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' gave it 3½ out of 4 stars and wrote that "while it doesn't sacrifice a smidgen of street-level intensity, it reaffirms just how far-reaching (and how far removed from the gangsta stereotype) hip-hop can be".〔 Giving it 4½ out of 5 mics, ''The Source'' magazine called it "a thoughtful musical endeavor... an emotional and spiritually fulfilling aural experience".〔 ''Spin'' described it as "an artistic progression, and added confirmation of the Roots' place at hip-hop's vanguard", giving it a 9/10 rating.〔 ''The San Diego Union-Tribune''s Jeff Niesel gave it 3 out of 4 stars, stating "the Roots find the perfect mixture of jazz and hip-hop for their songs about the hardships of urban life".〔Niesel, Jeff. "(Review: ''Illadelph Halflife'' )". ''The San Diego Union-Tribune'': October 24, 1996.〕
''The Village Voice''s Robert Christgau gave the album a (neither) rating,〔Christgau, Robert. "(Review: ''Illadelph Halflife'' )". ''The Village Voice'':〕 which indicates a record that "may impress once or twice with consistent craft or an arresting track or two. Then it won't.".〔Christgau, Robert. (CG 90s: Key to Icons ). Robert Christgau. Retrieved on 2009-10-17.〕 However, ''Illadelph Halflife'' was ranked number 33 on ''The Village Voice''s Pazz & Jop Critics Poll of 1996.〔Staff. "(The 1996 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll )". ''The Village Voice'': February 25, 1997.〕 A 2004 retrospective review by ''Rolling Stone'' rates the album with 4 out of 5 stars and perceives it as an improvement over The Roots's previous work, stating "The messages grew more focused on 1996's ''Illadelph Halflife'', which includes several strident anti-gangsta tirades and taunts. Black Thought replaced the bellicose, confrontational bravado of so many rappers with discussions of fidelity and responsibility".〔Hoard, Christian. "(Review: ''Illadelph Halflife'' )". ''Rolling Stone'': 702–703. November 2, 2004.〕
