[edit] Critical response
Some critics have called this album career suicide and the Rolling Stone article, "The Mystery of Lauryn Hill," [1] said that few would buy it. The album however went platinum.[2] Some considered the recording to be a sign of a breakdown, others as a sign of Hill's genius. Many critics have praised her honesty. Montreal film journal said "She’s growing as an artist and as a person, and watching it happen is inspiring."
