[edit] Critical Response
"LL’s last effort under his current contract at Def Jam is better than just a solid effort."--Brad Wete, VIBE FM4
"The mood of this album is one of overall bitterness and confusion. On many tracks LL Cool J sounds more like a scorned lover than a hip hop icon.--Brian Patrick, Yoraps5
"Out with a whimper, not a bang, 'Exit 13' is an off-ramp leading to a boulevard of several mismanaged White Castle knock-offs."--Andy Kellman, Allmusic6
