  1. Sean Paul is a gifted songbird, and on The Trinity his vocal gifts and Jamaica’s continued creative vitality are a surefire formula for thrilling music.
  2. More dutty than rock, "Trinty" fully establishes Sean Paul as not only a dancehall great, but one of black music's brightest talents.

    Sean Paul blasts off confidently into the future with The Trinity. [Nov 2005, p.147]
  4. Highly likable most of the way through, the album merits praise for not prettying up Paul's dancehall sound, at a time when it must have been tempting to add some bling for the benefit of his large American following.

    No matter how hard he smacks his drumsticks together, his third CD never ignites the five-alarm fires of previous hits. [7 Oct 2005, p.74]

    The lack of big-name guests may make it hard to woo new fans, but those who preferred Paul's earlier work will be happy to hear he has returned home. [1 Oct 2005]
  7. While Trinity is consistently engaging, it never quite achieves Dutty's immediate, overwhelming pop appeal.
  8. Maybe it is too much to ask for Trinity to be as good and surprising and full of life as Dutty Rock; maybe it is unfair to ask Paul to catch lightning in a bottle twice. Probably so, but it's still disappointing for Trinity to be as empty and unenjoyable as it is.
  9. Less than half of the eighteen tracks are worthwhile additions to Sean Paul's catalogue.
  10. Blender

    Feels curiously behind-the-curve. [Oct 2005, p.142]
