Critical reception

The album received generally mixed reviews from critics. Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone called it "still only so-so, offering a series of modestly tuneful, sometimes snoozy soul-pop-hip-hop songs".[4]. Entertainment Weekly said the album "seems divided against itself, rest assured that all of the songs have something in common: They're not remotely catchy".[5] For All Music Guide, Andy Kellman wrote that "it's not like any part of it is flat-out poor, but it's a shame it didn't turn out better".[6] This article is about the magazine. ...

Notes

• Not on the official album, "Big White Spaceship" (featuring Timbaland & Magoo) is actually an early project with Timbaland & Magoo called Surrounded By Idiots.

But then again, I also played with this famous group which consisted of Timbaland, Magoo, myself and some other guy. Chad wasn’t a part of the group, so I was in The Neptunes and in Surrounded By Idiots at the same time."^{[citation needed]} A few tracks produced by the group float around on the Internet, this being the most distributed.
