• Reviews

  "While 'Troublemaker' and 'Holla Holla' each sound a lot like prior Akon songs (the former like Kardinal Offishall's 'Dangerous,' the latter like '07's Akon/T-Pain pairing 'Bartender'), ultimately they're highlights for that very reason."—Billboard.comBillboard.com: Freedom Reviews

  "Akon's philosophy of liberty also includes the freedom to reuse nearly identical hooks for 13 songs straight. That approach may bring him plenty money, but it yields only a few legitimately fun tracks, buried beneath a pile of boring retreads."—Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly: Freedom Reviews

  "Akon sounds more comfortable than expected, and he reduces the lechery in favor of longing ('I wanna make up right now') and awe ('When I see you, I run out of words to say'). At times, the tensionless backdrops don't inspire Akon to do much with his pen."allmusicallmusic: Freedom Reviews
