    “Don’t Be Dumb” certainly doesn’t feel like something that has been multi-drafted, painstakingly thought out or perfected with time. Instead, it plays like a subpar effort from an artist we have all seen deliver notably stronger work in the past.

    Quality control has never been A$AP Rocky’s strong suit, but he remains a highly capable rapper, with a smooth, easy-to-appreciate flow. .... Rescue the highlights and move on.

    An album that’s compelling in spurts, exhausting in bulk, and oddly resistant to final judgment: it doesn’t rewrite his catalog or vindicate every delay, but it at least makes the lost years legible.

    Some songs feel phoned-in lyrically, and others feel overstuffed with production elements; as is so often the case with years-in-the-making albums, an edit feels necessary. Even so, it’s coherent and plainly fun to listen to.
