"Goodie's sophmore release that didn't fall short of Soul Food's success with another classic. Still Standing has a message within and still remain street without becoming watered down. Even with the production debut of members Cee-Lo on "Ghetto-ology" featuring Cheifton and T-Mo on "Greeny Green" featuring Witchdoctor they still came out with a southern sound that cannot be duplicated. As most of the production was held down by Organized Noize and Mr. DJ they overlayered their beats with live instruments to give it a more fuller effect. In a genre that degrades women there's upliftment and healing in "Beautiful Skin" with the message of "...you gotta respect yourself before I can..." "See You When I See You" displays their talents in this almost interlude as they get the crowd involved. This lp should be a prerequesite for any rapper/emcee entering the game."
Classic shite

"If you love Soul Food then it don't get no better than this right here. This will be a classic for all Dirty South Fans. I just wish that Cameron (Big Gipp), Wille (Khujo), Terrance (T-Mo), & Thomas (Cee-Lo) can Reconcile their differences and come together again."
Good sophomore effort, but not up to par

"It would be unfair to say "Still Standing" wasn't as good as "Soul Food." It is probably impossible for the Goodie MOb to measure up to their debut. With that in mind, "Still Standing" is still a good album, although it lacks the musical and spiritual bang that "Soul Food" packed. Don't get me wrong, though, there are definitely gems to be found here. Check out the funky bounce of "Fly Away," the dark musicality of "Black Ice," the beauty of the warrior-spiritual title track, and I dare you to say that "Beautiful Skin" isn't one of the most sensual songs you've heard. But as a whole "Still Standing" is a mildly ironic title. The MOb still come pretty tight, but they can't come close to the impact the first album had. If you're a true MOb fan, pick this up. If not, stick with "Soul Food." It's much more filling..."
