Reasonable Doubt received strong critical reviews and has been heralded as Jay-Z's "crowning achievement", a seminal work and an "undisputed classic". Reasonable Doubt received a "4 Mics" rating from The Source and five stars from Allmusic, the highest ratings issued by AMG. The Source ranks it among the top 100 albums of all time, Blender ranks it as one of the 500 best albums of all time, and Rolling Stone ranks it at 248 on their "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Reasonable Doubt along with Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... by Raekwon which came a year before are considered to have been the defining hallmarks of Mafioso rap, in addition to having "revolutionized the hip hop scene".
