Specifying in a two and a half star review by CCM Magazine ,Matt Conner realizes,"the hooks aren't as refined and the depth less dynamic than a hip-hop album is allowed to be anymore" [1] Kevin Hoskins,indicating in a four and a half star review from Jesus Freak Hideout,recognizes,"The later parts of the album are mostly solid with just a few missteps,but nothing glaringly bad or skip-worthy." [3] Awarding the album four and a half stars at New Release Tuesday,Dwayne Lacy says,"The album is very southern but also holds strong lyricism,which is a combination that some believe is lacking in the south... These dudes are real." [5] Anthony Peronto,giving the album four stars for Indie Vision Music,writes,"But that doesn't mean there isn't universal appeal in Southern Lights:Overxposed." [4] Indicating in an eight out of ten review at Cross Rhythms,Alan Reid responds,"Collison Records have released some fine hip-hop albums and this earthy,hard-hitting missive is amongst their best."
