Perspective
Matt Conaway of AllMusic praised Nature for being "an exceptionally flamboyant and charismatic MC" throughout the record, highlighting "Young Love", "I Remember" and "It's a Man's World" for showcasing his storytelling abilities. He concluded that: "Though he delivers a compelling debut, there are stretches of outdated productions that kept the record from joining the ranks of classic debuts from his borough's now-luminary figures (Run-D.M.C., Rakim, LL Cool J and Nas)."[3] Spin called the album "a crafty platter of metaphysical flair, compelling boy-meets-girl/girl-caps-boy-for-fucking-around narratives, and vivid ghetto reminiscences that recall Nas' early poetics."[5] Vibe contributor David Bry felt that Nature's lyrics were "run-of-the-mill" and had "a profound lack of engaging hooks", concluding that: "Although it offers a brief, pleasant flashback to Cali's hip-hop heyday, For All Seasons fails to live up to contemporary Queensbridge quality. It's a professional but largely uninspired effort."[2] Shaheem Reid, in a review for The Source, commended Nature's lyrical abilities, saying that he is "conjuring up cinematically vivid images", but criticized the album for the lack of diversity, both in lyrics and vocal delivery, as well as in its production, which he thought was "as bland as white rice".[4]
