Instead, it's the R&B-flavored "Cold World" and "No Love"." Surprisingly, the most enjoyable songs aren't the hardcore ones. Rotem, Dame Grease and Tronzilla laying down the tracks, but their efforts don't help the overall quality. Upon hearing the opener "What They Don't Know," an archetypal Swizz Beatz jam that stands among the best the duo ever concocted, it's almost impossible not to proclaim the return of the dog." Huffington Post labeled DMX as past his prime, but also said "The production on Undisputed is respectable with Swizz Beatz, J.R. He doesn't break much new ground, nor does he lend the sense that he's forcibly trying to reclaim past glory. Here you'll find his trademark street anthems replete with horns and barking, desolate monologues toward a silent God, and endless exploration of a chronically conflicted character. Pete T of RapReviews said, "the at-times triumphant return Undisputed wears many hats and dons most of them admirably. Despite some excellent beats from some of his Ruff Ryder heyday producers including Swizz Beatz, the MC struggles to tap into the menacing, confrontational bark that made him a star." X has been staying out of trouble, making it to shows and has improved his raps since The Weigh In, a trend one can only wish continues." In a mixed review Ken Capobianco writing for the Boston Globe stated, "on his comeback after years of career self-destruction, he doesn’t come close to recapturing the intensity and glorious contradictions of his best work. Undisputed exhibits little of X's impressive illustration but renews the high level of passion and energy he excels at relaying to listeners. As a result, fans understandably expect another "Party Up (Up In Here)," yet "I Don't Dance" is simply not that. Peaking so early in his career was a gift to his legacy but a curse to his longevity. Christopher Minaya of XXL said, "X provides more bark than bite this go-around, as he often leaves listeners yearning for more lyrically while the selection of beats is open to discussion as many are up to snuff at best. Upon its release, Undisputed received generally mixed reviews from music critics.
