CeeLo Green Cee-Lo Green... Is the Soul Machine

3.5 stars out of 5 - "[Cee-Lo's] high-pitched, gritty voice is a thoroughly unique instrument that can switch between lightning-speed rhymes and sweet serenades....[He] works a memorable tune into almost every one of these eighteen overstuffed tracks."
"[I]t's a testament to both Cee-Lo's vision and the producers' artistic sympathy that the collaborations maintain a coherent, vintage R&B vibe." - Grade: B+
"The forays into 'soul' - warm, street-party hip-hip R&B like 'My Kind of People' and 'All Day Love Affair' - sparkle, as do his playful raps." - Grade: B
"[T]here's a mix of the dirty and divine on most every track of his second solo disc."
5 stars out of 5 - "[W]ith provocative yet intellectually rigorous raps. A masterpiece."
