Review - :
His first record was the hottest {\rap} debut of 2001 (despite an ominous release date: 9/11), and {$Fabolous} consolidated his commercial clout, if not his artistic importance, with a safe sophomore record called {^Street Dreams}. There's little doubt that {$Fabolous} has rapping talents to match his name, with the smoothest flow of any East Coaster and dozens of great ideas. To capitalize on what made {^Ghetto Fabolous} such a big hit, {^Street Dreams} has plenty of club tracks ({&"Can't Let You Go,"} and {&"Trade It All, Pt. 2"} featuring {$P. Diddy}) and a few that advertise his {\hardcore rap} credentials ({&"Not Give a F***,"} {&"Up on Things"} featuring {$Snoop Dogg}, {&"Keepin It Gangsta"} with {$Styles} and {$Jadakiss}). Elsewhere he dismisses a raft of female admirers ({&"Call Me,"} {&"Into You"} featuring {$Ashanti}) and shows a level of general disinterest to rival anyone with a major-label deal. One of the singles, {&"This Is My Party,"} is one of the worst tracks on the album, a lame mid-tempo grind with a one-note chorus featuring {$Fabolous} intoning "This is my party, so get fly if you like to" over and over. The productions are much better than the songs, with good work coming from {$Tone & Poke}, {$Timbaland}, and executive producers {$DJ Clue} and {$Duro}. [This Australian version of the album includes bonus material.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
