said, "While ''Nobody's Smiling'' was inspired by the tragic condition of Common's hometown of Chicago, its incorporation of a relevant-as-ever song from 1970, recorded by a Chicagoan in Chicago, is an acknowledgment of how inner-city struggles are a constant, not a trend. The rapper/actor's geographic and economic distance can be cited as a reason to approach ''Nobody's Smiling'' with a cocked brow." Jay Balfour of

More important, it has some of Com's tightest storytelling in years. If the bittersweet memory-lane stroll he takes on "Rewind That" doesn't move you even a little, you might be heartless." Reed Jackson of '' XXL'' stated, "But not all of ''Nobody’s Smiling'' is stony-faced and grim. Beyond its important purpose amid the violence, it's also a chance for Common to look back once again at the place that birthed him. That means nostalgia often shines through in his lyrics, especially on the heartfelt "Rewind That," which serves as a tribute to his late great friend and old roommate J. Dilla, as well as No I.D. and Twilite Tone, another producer that helped him get his start. On it, he rhymes, “For the future of the, Chi we gon’ bring it back home.” One thing that we’ve learned from Common over the years is that, even with its flaws, there’s no place like home."

''Nobody’s Smiling'' is a warning. Hopefully, it wont be a eulogy."
