    While none of these spare summer jams of knotty beats match his Marvin Gaye-sampling 2001 hit "Music," almost any would freshen radio. [Aug 2004, p.139]
  2. Vibe

    Sermon's crisp production maintains a chill vibe, but the tight network of guests can't make up for his inadequate skills on the mike. [Aug 2004, p.141]
  3. "Chilltown, New York" proves itself a worthy successor not only to 2002's "React" but to the rest of Sermon's long and storied rap career.
  4. No doubt, Chilltown consistently delivers solid hip-hop cuts. But in comparison to his 2002 release React, Sermon's well of creativity might be running dry.
  5. Chilltown won't be thought of as a classic down the line, but it hardly weakens the MC/producer's reputation.
  6. As strong as anything Sermon's done.
  7. His preoccupation with age and past-due credit... deadens even his thickest bass lines and most buoyant beats.
  8. Mojo
    70
    He puts down the rumour-mongers with an acid tongue. [Nov 2004, p.100]
