"On J. Cole's refreshing and lively new album, the rapper relaxes his grip around the mic and thrives when he's collaborating, not when he's making deadly serious legacy raps".

"The album is a varied selection with solid performances and production throughout. Much like the title suggests, The Off-Season feels like Cole running through different exercises as he gets in shape for something bigger".

"Nu har J. Cole altså udgivet 'The Off-Season', og armbevægelserne er store. Der er udkommet en kort YouTube-dokumentar sammen med albummet, hvor rapperen taler om nødvendigheden af aldrig at være tilfreds, hvis man skal holde sig på toppen gennem mange år. Den ellers så ydmyge artist har også en nyfunden konfrontatorisk indstilling på det nye album, der signalere et ønske om at markere sig. Men albummet er alligevel ikke det store kunstneriske spring, man kunne have håbet på. 'The Off-Season' er faktisk - overraskende nok - rapperens mest uambitiøse udgivelse i mange år".
