Critical Response
Last 2 Walk received positive reviews, with some critics saying that the album brought them back to their hardcore roots. Allmusic said "There's no evidence Three 6 had a fully formed Most Known Unknown-styled album in them either, so consider the uneven Last 2 Walk a fair and necessary placeholder effort with a bit of 'back to basics' thrown in to satisfy the faithful." Rolling Stone has said, "It's getting easier out there for a pimp. On their first album since they added an Oscar statuette to the gold-plated goblets in their trophy case, these Memphis rappers are in a triumphant mood. Billboard said "Last 2 Walk should satisfy longtime Three 6 fans." New York Times has said "Last 2 Walk, its first album since the excellent 'Most Known Unknown,' from 2005, sounds like vintage Three 6 Mafia: bruising production, gloriously foul-natured lyrics, single-minded focus on life’s pleasures." Rapreview.com said that "Last 2 Walk is recommended for those who can get past their banal lyricism, because between the beats and the guest stars on this album they've got a winning combination anyway."
