Editorial Reviews 7 (out of 10) - ...Regardless of what side of the beats-versus-verses argument you affiliate yourself with, this joint is a litmus test with at least one clear verdict: As evidence of Premier's genius, LIVIN' PROOF is just that. Rap Pages (12/01/1995)
...a crew aided throughout their debut by the great DJ Premier....two distinct voices that mesh together to do work. And while their packaging is no-frills, the substance is there... Vibe (02/01/1996)
3 Stars - Good - After dropping two solid singles, `Supa Star' and the title track `Livin' Proof,'...they stick to the same formula of sparse, monotonic rhymes... Rolling Stone (03/07/1996)
...naturally, it's some of the most inventive and gorgeous hip hop you'll hear....a phenomonal collage of beats and loops....a feast of mindblowing s***... Melody Maker (04/20/1996)
