AllMusic     [1]

AllMusic – "...Paper Chasin', is an improvement over the somewhat unformed It's All Good. Paper Chasin' remains unfocused, but the multitude of hip-hop and R&B styles, as well as the bevy of guest stars, makes the record interesting. Suga T never manages to tie all of her loose ends together, but taken individually many of the songs are quite good".[1]
