  1. 8.0 |   NME

    The Chef's steely signature East Coast flow has seldom sounded more imperious
    Read Review

  2. 7.0 |   Spin

    It’s unlikely that F.I.L.A. will mushroom into a revered work of snuff literature, as 1995’s Mafioso epic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx did, but pornographic specificity is still part and parcel of the Chef’s music

  3. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    What F.I.L.A. lacks in overt emotional content is made up for with the pleasure Raekwon takes in listing off his lavish purchases and seemingly constant jet-setting
    Read Review

  4. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    The chef is clearly working with an entirely new recipe. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t
    Read Review

  5. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    A worthy addition to the decent-to-great output of Raekwon's past decade
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    One of the Clan’s most mercurial talents still has plenty in the tank
    Read Review

  7. 6.0 |   Q

    Wu-Tang Clan renegade targets mainstream thrills with mixed results. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   The Observer

    As befits its messy gestation, it’s a patchy affair
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Beardfood

    The Chef leaves behind the legendary yet dated Wu-Tang sound, replacing it with something not a lot more contemporary, rather anonymous and without fire. Rae's flow can't be beat though
    Read Review

  10. 5.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Suffers not from any sort of egregious mistakes, but rather from being almost entirely forgettable
    Read Review

  11. 5.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Raekwon needs the intervention of a firm guiding hand to overhaul his sound, someone to nudge him from the artistic limbo that seems destined to push him into total irrelevance
    Read Review

  12. 4.0 |   NOW

    Rae is prepped and, in his own focused, deliberate way, amped, but the production and arrangements are generally uninspired
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    The lyrics go in one ear and out another with ease, an indistinct mass of luxury-brand namedrops, celebrity cliches, empty boasting, and drug references
