Reception

Graduation received generally favorable reviews from music critics.^[7] Rolling Stone said that "none of the beats clobber you as immediately as "Jesus Walks" or "Gold Digger," but most of them improve on every listen: This is an album that you first like, then love." Rolling Stone also wrote that, "as a lyricist, West will never possess the pure cool or formal mastery of his mentor Jay-Z, but he's grown as a writer. (See the off-kilter, dreamlike "I Wonder".) And given the lousy year hip-hop has had, the music needs his spazzed-out, neurotic creativity more than ever. As for the rest of you rappers: Try harder."^[8] Entertainment Weekly noted that "West's vocal mediocrity wouldn't be so glaring if the production were more of a diversion. There are no truly tragic compositions on Graduation—though the droning "Drunk and Hot Girls" could have been half as irritating at twice the speed—but most of the music just seems uninspired."^[9] The Chicago Tribune gave the album a favorable review, claiming that "West is at his best".^[10] This album was #5 on Rolling Stone's list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007.^[11] Kanye also received a rating of XL from the hip-hop magazine XXL, which rated his first two albums with a classic rating of XXL.
