Only Year of the Dog relies too heavily on nostalgia, ignoring how hip-hop and DMX himself have inverse over the years.

He has carved his own niche, perfecting his make of unfiltered assailment. Legions of DMX loyalist will not be disappointed."^[xiii] Virtually.com besides gave information technology a score of iii-and-a-one-half out of 5 stars and said, "Despite all the crises occurring in X's personal life, he still finds a style to preserve the breadth and depth of his powerful phonation; his voice lonely is capable of propelling the album. While the canine theme is hard to error, forgiveness, redemption and, ultimately, the presence of a supreme beingness present themselves every bit a subtext in X'south canine heed. Information technology seems like the dog has found his way home, finally."^[14]
