The album's general theme is different, in that it is more emotional, to Professor Green's previous album; Professor Green had a difficult upbringing with a hard relationship with his parents. His father committed suicide in 2008 and it heavily affected Professor Green. Professor Green said of his father suicide and upbringing that "This album helped — writing about it was my way to deal with it."^[2] The album, thus, is generally more emotional than his previous album, Alive Till I'm Dead, which covered more humorous themes. Ed Drewett and Emeli Sandé, who had previously worked on Alive Till I'm Dead, were featured on the album.

In general, the album has received mixed reviews from the major critics. However, RWD Magazine gave the album 4/5 stars and stated 'Introspective and reflective, this borders on emo-rap on occasions, while retaining edginess on the sonic side'.^[14] MTV UK gave the album a positive review stating 'From hip-hop, to UK garage influences, this slick LP really does have it all.'^[15] The Guardian awarded the album 3/5 stars, saying 'It's difficult to reconcile Green's more crass verses with his sentimental numbers; Astronaut's tale of innocent rape victim turned junkie sits uncomfortably next to all the phallus jokes and Eminem-style sadism of songs such as Into the Ground. It's a heavy, ambivalent confessional, but Green's precocious personality and distinctive flow manage to keep it fired up.'^[16] The Independent were less positive, saying 'Having managed to parlay an association with Lily Allen into the semblance of a career, Professor Green punches above his weight on his second album' before stating 'Green's delivery is too Estuary-Eminem, scattershot hip-hop asperity snarled out with a mockney menace that is too secondhand to be effective' and the Evening Standard said 'At his best, as on the vitriolic Read All About It, he can still sound like the English Eminem. When the acoustic guitars come out, though, he's closer to Just Jack.' The BBC were also unimpressed, with the BBC saying that Green is basically just saying "Please let me on The X Factor… I promise I won’t swear!" and that you are left "frankly, bemused and, increasingly, very, very bored". The Evening Standard summed up the album by saying "The good news is that if fame really is so tough Manderson won't have to suffer for long: another album like this and nobody will be listening." Uncut gave the album 2 out of 5 stars, summing it up as "rather tiring". Perhaps the most damning review of all though was The Daily Telegraph's 1 out of 5, claiming "his rhymes are too often lewd brags or boneheaded non sequiturs". Any Decent Music, the online review aggregator, finds the album awarded overall 4.3 out of 10.^[17]
