Edward Bowser from Soul in Stereo called Elevation an album "that has definite highlights and is perfect if you’re the type who loves to cherry pick a few tracks to create your own playlist. But if you’re judging this album as a total body of work (which is what we do around here), it lacks the cohesion of Tank’s stronger LPs." [2]
