Steve 'Flash' Juon of RapReviews criticized the album for showcasing Lo's below average delivery for simple subject matters, concluding that, "The production and lyrics here are so awful I'm actually getting nostalgic for Soulja Boy's album."〔 Nathan S. of DJBooth criticized Lo for aping other rappers' style and using them to tell the same cliché hip-hop stories, saying that, "There’s just no way around it, ''Units In The City'' is a terrible album. Period."〔 Atherton of HipHopDX also criticized Lo for lacking a distinct delivery and trying to sound like T.I. and Jeezy, saying that "we certainly don't need yet another new rapper trying to walk their paths."〔 David Jeffries of AllMusic was the sole positive review for the album, commenting on Lo's flow feeling limited but said that it complimented the numerous hip-hop story tracks and few deviations into mature subject matter, all while combining both snap and trap music saying that "with some fun wordplay and the talent to hire all the right people for production and guest appearances, he's created a satisfying weekend album."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Units in the City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
