"Oddisee's production continues its evolution into something more global. His beats typically carry obscure soul samples, heavy basslines and prominent drums, and are bolstered by live strings and guitars, giving them an orchestral feel. On Way in Way Out, majestic horns make the song seem regal. Set You Free is retrospective funk: between its velvety organ loop and trickling electric keys, Oddisee sounds like he recorded it in a silk smoking jacket and ascot tie".

"Oddisee, a producer and emcee from D.C., draws from numerous influences, especially r&b, soul and funk ... His lyrics often reflect apprehension, cautious optimism and hesitant bravado. Oddisee's lyrical flow is comparable to any great jazz soloist".
