As fresh as the Re-Up Gang keep their rhymes and beats, much of the album has a cheap feeling--a "We Got It 4 Cheap," cheap, that is, as nearly half of the album is comprised simply of freshly mixed tracks from "Volume 3."
-
Re-Up's wordplay outstrips their production. [Sep 2008, p.122]

Yes, I love Clipse and the Re-Up Gang, but tough love invariably accompanies true love, so there you have it. The relationship is just on the rocks for now; here’s hoping November is like the honeymoon all over again.

Re-Up Gang is sort of like going out for a nice meal and filling up on bread.
-
On Clipse Presents, however, it sounds like they’ve lost that drive, stopping to rest on their laurels for the first time in their career.

The biggest problem beyond the recycled rhymes is the production. There are lots of beatsmiths on hand here, but none even come close to doing what the Neptunes did for them on their proper albums.
