  1. 10.0 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    When Pusha T calls Daytona “Album of the motherfucking year” at the end of “The Story of Adidon”, it’s not an empty boast – it might very well be

  2. 9.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Daytona is the sound of Pusha-T being pushed to pursue perfection

  3. 9.1 |   A.V. Club

    By the time the album’s over, he sounds like the last rapper on earth. He’s voracious, barely stopping to breathe from the moment the record begins

  4. 9.1 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Coke rap’s poet laureate continues to amaze as he rhymes about the hustle and grind
    Read Review

  5. 9.0 |   Clash

    By staying small, focussed and concise here, he makes the biggest statement of his solo career so far - going against the excess and all-you-can-eat approach that’s trapping the rest of the game is truly a stunt. Pusha T is timeless

  6. 9.0 |   Earbuddy

    Bereft of filler and perfectly paced, it is easily Pusha-T’s best album since Hell Hath No Fury

  7. 8.5 |   The 405

    It’s evident that Pusha T is at his most confident on DAYTONA; his rhymes carry confidence and clarity paired with a high head and a release that was well worth the three-year waiting period

  8. 8.3 |   Pitchfork

    Produced entirely by Kanye West, the spare and serrated solo album from Pusha-T is a near-airtight exercise in flair and focus

  9. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Kanye ably props up rap's best drug storyteller
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    In many ways, Daytona replicates Jay-Z and No I.D.'s 2017 rap highlight 4:44: two older men who simply practice their craft, their legacies already secure

  11. 8.0 |   NOW

    Seven tracks long (like apparently all upcoming G.O.O.D. Music albums) with a sombre and workmanlike tone, the album is stripped down in the best possible sense

  12. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    All the controversy gives elements of DAYTONA some delicious extra novelty, though thankfully its core ingredients are more than fulfilling on their own

  13. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    It may not be the most woke album of the year. But nothing is going to touch the "YUGH" factor of Pusha T's DAYTONA this year
    Read Review

  14. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Stands loud and proud among Pusha T's best work. Print edition only

  15. 8.0 |   All Music

    It's a testament to the rapper's excellence that he can release a 20-minute album that withstands West's ostentatious art direction and shoddy guest verse

  16. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This is not the King Push we were led to expect, but it is a quality record in its own right

  17. 7.8 |   Gig Soup

    In 7 tracks on a project barely reaching 20 minutes, Pusha T makes the fans want more
    Read Review

  18. 7.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    It’s a fascinating flex, taking three years to release a project this petite, but as with the narcotics Pusha has rapped about for decades, it’s not about volume, but purity

  19. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Rarely has he sounded so urgent
