All Music Guide
Even with its wobbly mix of yesterday, today, a better tomorrow, T.O.S. is much closer to classic than failure and should reassure fans this slow-moving tank is pointed in the exactly right direction.

Ultimately, G-Unit has returned to its aggressive roots, but it would've been wonderful to hear it rap over a more varied assortment of beats.

Unfortunately the drama turns out to be more interesting than the album itself, with Yayo offering little lyrically, Banks seemingly phoning in his performances, and 50 trying to hold the whole thing together on the strength of his star power alone

Blender
On this clamorous, relentless album, a violent death lurks in every bar (“Rider Pt. 2”), licentious catcalls have replaced slinky come-ons (“I Like the Way She Do It”) and guns seem to fire of their own accord (every other song here). In doses, it’s rousing. Over the course of a whole album, it’s exhausting.

After sifting through the storyline, it's just hard to figure out why these guys are important anymore.

NOW Magazine
Sure, the beats bang like crazy, but the songs are emotionally hollow, thematically one-dimen­sional and conceptually lifeless.

Rolling Stone
T.O.S. would simply be a middling posse record if it didn't further undermine its own cred by constantly referencing better rap songs.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
The once-fascinating, now-tedious gangsta-rap superstar's creative losing streak continues with G-Unit's dreary new posse album Terminate On Sight.

PopMatters
What’s truly embarrassing for G-Unit throughout T*O*S is the way Young Buck shows up (which he does on four separate occasions) and puts everyone to shame.

You guys cant tell me cds like soulja boy and hurrican chris are better than this its a good cd, granted it could of been better but there were not 2 man rap cds better that dropped this year. Prodigy, Bun B, Big Noyd thats about all i can think of.

Michael S. gave it a10:
I love it! High quality album!!

G-Unit Curtis gave it a10:
Very Good!

Dominic A. gave it a1:
This album was way too simple. As an avid hip-hop fan, I am always looking for something fresh and new. This album shows that G-Unit is still trying to get paid off of their early success. There isn't any effort or skill shown in the album. I would definitely say, "Do not buy this album!"

Korey M. gave it a7:
album is decent, banks verses blow everything out of the water, fifty gives something to listen to, buck still does his thing, and even yayo gives a few good lines plus almost evey beat is either good or great

Allen D. gave it a10:
This album rocked.
