1) Amazon.com
Now that everybody wears Rastafarian-flavored red, green, and gold wristbands and the Signal De Plane and Pon De River dances have grown to macarena-like proportions, you have Sean Paul (and the guy who actually invented these dances, the "Energy God" Elephant Man) to thank. This re-release intended for international markets trims the fat from the original Dutty Rock by losing the filler skits, songs ("It's On"), and adding the previously unavailable "Baby Boy" single featuring Beyonce's seductive croons. This one's for fans who don't have Beyonce's Dangerously in Love album (the only other place to get this popular reggae-lite single) and those who want to renew their love affair with the Diwali riddim popularized on Paul's "Get Busy"--and subsequently re-sung on chart toppers by Lumidee ("Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)") and fellow dancehall vocalist Wayne Wonder ("No Letting Go"). --Dalton Higgins2) Album Description
International edition of the hit 2002 album includes one exclusive bonus track 'Baby Boy' (duet with Beyonce). Atlantic.

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) Only worth it for the radio hits... [Rating: 2 out of 5]
I like Sean Paul's style and music, but I found this album disappointing. Besides the big hits that were played on the radio ("Gimme the Light", "Get Busy", "Like Glue", "Baby Boy") and "Punkie" and "Can You do the Work", I found that most of this album was uninspired and repetitive and didn't make me want to sing along or dance. If you listen to the album twice in a row, you actually feel to skip most of the tracks the second time around... I would suggest you buy his Trinity album instead, a much more interesting one. If you like his big radio successes, just download them on your iPod instead of buying the entire Dutty Rock album.2) Party Rocker For Sure [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Admittedly, I don't have the faintest idea as to what Sean Paul is singing/talking/toasting/rapping about but this is a fun, shake your groove thang, head bobber. I don't know how anyone can sit down when they put this on. The beats and grooves are just hot. Aside from the hits and songs that got some radio play, Shout, International Affair, Concrete, and Punkie are stand-outs. Sean Paul did his thing on this one and he's a cutie too!3) Hard to tell what he's saying [Rating: 3 out of 5]
Hip Hop's Sean Paul brought the island flavor into the Top 40. His first single "Get Busy" sounds great and sets the stage for Dutty Rock, his official debut album. Though his English is a little iffy and it's hard to tell what he's jabbering about on record, the beats are great in any language. Highlights are the aforementioned smash "Get Busy," "Gimme the Light," "Like Glue," "Baby Boy" (with Beyonce) and "Top of the Game." It's not a perfect listen but it's pretty good.4) Just alright... [Rating: 4 out of 5]
3.5 stars. Admittedly I'm not a reggae or rastafarian fan. But I'd heard enough single cuts to make me believe that this would be a good CD. It was and it wasn't. I agree the flow of the stongs seemed a bit chopping and majority sounded alike. It's a very long CD which aides in you getting your money's worth, but overall-it's just okay.5) Don't waste your money. [Rating: 2 out of 5]
I made the mistake of buying this cd for one song basically. I would have saved some money had I just burn the one song that I like. The songs just really do not seem to flow very well together. There is too much down time between songs and too much talking. "Get Busy" is definetly the best song on the cd. I will admit I listen to it over and over and do not get tired of it. However, his newest cd "The Trinity" is much better.
