"Everything on this album reinforces a single feeling: the strange unreality of the character referred to on Ironman as "America's most dramatic Avenger." On 36 Seasons, the fantasy persona with which Dennis Coles fixes all of the problems in his old neighborhood (predatory crack dealers, crooked cops, his own physical vulnerability) strides indestructibly through a world whose grimly unfantastic details are so close to terrible events as recent as last week they cut off breath: on "Double Cross," a list of dangers faced by the citizens of Staten Island includes "illegal chokeholds."".

"36 Seasons er en helstøbt og gennemarbejdet affære, og med stjernestunder som Love Don't Live Here No More, Emergency Procedure, Homicide og Blood On The Streets viser den, at der er liv efter Wu-Tang, hvis A Better Tomorrow skulle vise sig at blive sidste udgivelse fra den samlede lejr".

"36 Seasons may not be Ghostface's greatest project, but it is another notable addition to his extensive body of work. Rapping alongside Kool G Rap and AZ for the bulk of the album is certainly a treat, and the two have their own moments of glory. Production, on the other hand, simply does not hold on to the lyrical dynamism present between Ghost, Pharoahe Monch, AZ and G. The Revelations do an admirable job, but the neat vignettes steal away some of the raw kinetics that drive a superlative Ghost project".
