Credit Sisqo for avoiding the sophomore slump and sidestepping formula on his rugged and soulful latest. Blessed with a powerful, dare one say overwrought voice, Sisqo has the power to make the phone book (or ditties about undergarments) sound intense. But with the help of Teddy Riley, among others, on Return of Dragon he's working with more interesting material. The single "Can I Live" vibrates with a fierce wiggle, while the heartfelt ballad "Close Your Eyes" is pure hankie material. Of course, this being a Sisqo CD, you have to endure tracks (the first two) in which Sisqo essentially pays homage to his own genitalia. Program the CD player. --Amy Linden

 Should tide you over until Dru Hill's New CD June 20, 2001
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Normally, I would expect better from Sisqo and Nokio(his Producer), but damn. Only two worthwhile tracks on this CD. And before all the teenage girls start making reviews about it being the best CD ever, read this well. Can I Live is possibly one of the best club tracks sisqo has ever made along with Thong Song. This song should be aired more on the radio. Theres a secret gem of a track called Without you, Let me just tell you that I pray this song will make it on the new Dru Hill CD. This track is excellent, everything about it makes it an instant classic. The rest of the CD is lackluster. Nothing memorable or even worth playing on Hot97 or MTV. I made sure this review was first because as a consumer would you really want to listen to the opinion of a teenage girl addicted to sisqo, end up buying the album then spitting on it? My suggestion would be to download the MP3 of those two songs or pray they become singles, dump the rest of the album in the trash.
 Sisqo once again relives his youth June 22, 2001

Put simply, one cannot describe Sisqo's latest stab at pathos after having listened to it as merely "off the hook," but as off the "hizzook." "Return of the Dragon" is a return to the buoyant years after Sisqo's infancy when his innocent ears first discovered the "adult" language heard here, which he copiously sprinkles throughout each song, much to the delight of the hoi polloi audience who comprise his growing fanbase (this critic included!). Sisqo so convincingly plays the role of a 6-year-old, that one can't help wonder if his true calling is in the theater. Sisqo: part Lenny Bruce, part Noel Coward, part Marvin Gaye, part post-burial 2 Pac, part Carlton Coon Congoid multiregional model--100% THUG! If you are you still reading this, stop immediately! The longer you read this the longer the lines at Tower Records will be! Get all g'd out, get ya wallet out, and go buy this album now!
 I would give it a zero, but Amazon won't let me! March 5, 2002

Sisqo is probably one of the most overrated and overhyped recording artists in the business. He hastily produced an "album" that was not only too short (12 tracks, barely 40 minutes long), but was also yet another clone of the same sickeningly tired run-of-the-mill American R&B dominated by oversinging and Jerry Springer-style lyrics. Besides, Thong Song was the only reason his first album, Unleash The Dragon, sold six million copies. This piece of [garbage] is the reason why I will petition to Amazon to allow zero-star reviews!

This cd does not even compare to Unleash the Dragon or any Dru Hill project. I am really happy that I dubbed a copy but now I am disappointed because I wasted a perfectly good blank cd. This cd is GARBAGE. This cd got a one because they don't let you use that minus sign.
 This isn't a return it's a start! June 19, 2001

Sisqo has been a star for about four years as the ex-front man for the R&B group Dru Hill But it was last summer's "Thong Song" that gave him the taste of the Lime Light that a true pop star lives but the rest of the singles off of his first solo disc "Enter The Dragon" were weak trite cuts that sounded like Dru Hill left over so with his new disc he ups the up-tempo jams and finds a solid groove and gives his voice about as much as a showcasing with lightining fast delivery that rivals Beyonce Knowles of Destiny's Child! The first single "Can I live" has the same jarred and stattaco riff that makes you wanna jump on the dance floor.The rest of the album gives him a greater range of production and room to explore more emotions and depth in his lyrics such as with "Homewrecker" a track everyone should listen too! Will Sisqo have the same dominace that he endured over last summer probably not since no track has the same fluff as Thong Song had but for a guy with a mission to make you dance he more than completes the assignment!
