Entertainment Weekly says:
Tha Carter III should be an anointment, proof of his arrival in rap's elite. Wayne's genius is of the mad sort, though, and this schizoid album (packed with Wayne-as-alien metaphors, love songs, psychedelic boasts, and more) is alternately mesmerizing and inscrutable. There's some intricate art here: ''Dr. Carter'' and ''A Milli'' have bursts of spectacular rhyme, while ''Tie My Hands,'' about his hometown, is profoundly affecting. And for the first time, Wayne displays his pop ear on the oozy ''Lollipop'' and the Babyface-assisted ''Comfortable.'' Still, the meandering TC3 is like 16 songs from 16 different albums, barely more composed than one of Wayne's mixtapes. It's the sound of a great artist not trying his best, or questioning whether effort is even a worthwhile metric.
