So it goes

"Ungt og vildt. Det er den korte version af Ratking. Men det vil ikke gøre dem ære, for der er meget mere i det. Med dette debutalbum markerer de, at hiphop i New Yorks gader stadig lever i bedste velgående. De er vilde, ja, men de er det på den rigtig fede måde. De er livlige og intense - både musikalsk og vokalt. I hvert fald det meste af tiden".

"The major point of contention with So It Goes arises from its choice of outside collaborators. Having proven to work so well together as a tight three-piece unit, Ratking's decision to welcome in outsiders was always going to be a potentially tricky issue. But thankfully for every Solomon Faye spot - he really shows himself up on lethargic closer `Take', a bit like SK La' Flare on Doris' opener `Pre' - there's an exciting appearance by female MC Wavy Spice on the Latin-flavoured groove of `Puerto Rican Judo', where she transcends obvious Nicki Minaj comparisons. But the finest is the vocal contribution made by Ratking associate King Krule on the jazz-haze of `So Sick Stories'; Archy Marshall's syrupy chorus adding a twilit dimension to proceedings".

"There's a pulsing, lived-in energy to So It Goes that captures what New York feels like and pushes at the boundaries of lyrically-driven rap. Beyond conversations about their city or genre, Ratking's greatest success is confidently offering a sound that feels untethered from expectations and bristles with the exhilarating energy of trying something new".
