"Toronto jazz-funk dons BADBADNOTGOOD are a good fit, ably replicating the kind of gritty '70s pulp-paperback breaks Ghostface has long favored. But Sour Soul could have every musician who ever played with the J.B.'s backing him up and it still wouldn't obscure the fact that he's slacking on the mic ... Both the scant material and under-inspired lyricism are symptoms of the same problem: a dearth of unexpected ideas from an MC once seemingly capable of endless ones. Ghost's done worse, but he used to be so excitingly unpredictable. Now you pretty much know what you're going to get".

"Sour Soul is sublime. Rather than standing around starstruck, BBNG have more than proven their worth as Ghostface's backing band ... BBNG have formulated a cinematic musical staging for Ghostface's vivid, punchy storytelling. Inspired by jazz techniques and soul production from the Sixties and Seventies, they've stuck to their guns by eschewing sampling in favour of laying down all the live instrumentation themselves, and it works wonders. It's instrumental class versus luxurious rapping flow, and the results are spectacular".
