Meek Mill røg helt til tops på de amerikanske hitlister denne sommer med dette, hans andet, album, og dermed er Philadelphia-rapperen trådt ind i den amerikanske superliga af rapstjerner. Kanonerne er kørt i stilling og kavaleriet, i form af blandt andre Drake, Future og Nicki Minaj, er indkaldt, og resultatet er et af årets store mainstream hip hop-albums. Det er bedre end Meeks 2012-debut, for her tager han flere chancer. Der er samples af jazztrommer, Mozart(!) og asiatisk musik, og førnævnte gæstestjerner tjener et formål: De præger de numre de medvirker på, og er ikke bare noget Meek Mill viser frem. Et must for de lokale homies.

"Dreams And Nightmares, his 2012 debut LP, wasted a heart-stopping opening by trying too hard to cross over (e.g. Kirko Bangz was on it). And now, with his second official album, he's taken a real step forward. Other than a skippable late-album ballad, Dreams Worth More Than Money is pretty much everything you'd want from a mainstream Meek release. Savvy potential hits are overshadowed by a bunch of tracks with chips on their shoulders, made for a guy who sounds like he leaves blood on the mic".

"His understanding of rap as a vocal performance; his ability to summon powerful emotions; his combination of vulnerability, bravado, and a storyteller's sense of character and time-well, shit, those are all the hallmarks of a great rapper. Maybe it only all coheres in flashes, but if Meek Mill works best in bursts, then so be it".
