Thank You

Pitchfork 5.1/10 The Beastie Boy strikes a reflective tone on a solo album made up of frenetic, funky glitch-rap-electro-punk beats reminiscent of his remixing work. Nothing quite sticks.

NME 4/5 The rap legend – with a little help from his kids – returns to the spotlight with the infectious energy of an upstart with nothing to lose.

The Line of Best Fit 8/10 Mike D's Thank You is how comebacks should be done.

Kerrang! 4/5 Beastie Boy legend Mike D gets candid and chameleonic with his stunning debut solo album, Thank You.

Rolling Stone 3.5/5 The first music from a surviving Beastie Boy since the death of Adam Yauch, Thank You finds a legend restless to go somewhere new.

All Music 3.5/5 Thank You seems like it's made for the type of die-hard Beastie Boys fan who misses all the weird one-offs and side projects Grand Royal used to release, or owns multiple Money Mark solo albums. It doesn't attempt to do what the Beastie Boys did, but it's an enjoyable, creative effort that ultimately looks forward more than backward.

Clash 7/10 ‘Thank You’ is a triumphant return to music for Mike D, a fairly smooth-sailing affair, but one that has plenty going on and packs a punch.

Spectrum Culture 77% Anyone expecting Mike D’s debut album to sound like the Beastie Boys without MCA and Ad-Rock may be disappointed, but Thank You is a breath of fresh air – a positive and forward-looking statement and a fresh start to build on, rather than just nostalgia for past greatness.

Hot Press 8.0/10 Ex-Beastie Boy in flying form.
