Review - AMG :
Before releasing his first solo album, Puff Daddy (aka Sean "Puffy" Combs) was famous as the producer of the Notorious B.I.G., Junior Mafia, Craig Mack, Lil' Kim, and many other rappers. As he was making his solo debut, the Notorious B.I.G. was murdered, and that loss weighs heavily on Puff's mind throughout No Way Out. Even though the album has some funky party jams scattered throughout, the bulk of the album is filled with fear, sorrow, and anger, and it's not only evident on the tribute "I'll Be Missing You" (a duet with Faith Evans and 112 that is based on the Police's "Every Breath You Take") but also on gangsta anthems like "It's All About the Benjamins." That sense of loss makes No Way Out a more substantial album than most mid-'90s hip-hop releases, and even if it has flaws -- there's a bit too much filler and it runs a little long -- it is nevertheless a compelling, harrowing album that establishes Puff Daddy as a vital rapper in his own right. ~ Leo Stanley, All Music GuideReview - Yahoo! Music - Scott Chernoff :
A pleasantly generic CD that is guaranteed to leave no lasting impression. Many of the songs basically consist of one cool sample repeated over and over, with Combs (and "The Family") providing mediocre, serviceable raps on top. The hit "I'll Be Missing You" works best, mostly thanks to the guest singing by Faith Evans and 112, and the enduring strength of the Police classic "Every Breath You Take," of which this is basically a clever cover.Review - Yahoo! Music - Lyndsey Parker :
When you've lived like Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, rocketing into the limelight on the back of epic success and equally epic tragedy, epic music tends to fit like another priceless suit. So on Combs's solo debut, when he rhymes and rolls about living larger than any other rapper alive, you can feel it. You can feel it in "If I Should Die Tonight," as Combs ponders an issue former (current?) nemesis Tupac addressed in song and real life; in the deep new-jack soul grooves he first helped invent as a producer; in the voice of fallen friend and protégé, the Notorious B.I.G. (who's given cameos and respect); and in the title song, when Combs asks God for the protection many people think he probably needs. Combs didn't become who he is because of a great musical gift but because of a grand vision he punctuates with symphonic flourishes, gangsterisms, and plenty of remorse. On No Way Out, the victory-cry is sober; the competition beat themselves.Review - :
