Have you tried any debugging whatsoever before asking? You haven't given us any details.

There may also be some help in the PayPal documentation. If the array you posted is the return information from PayPal they are sure to have some indication in their documentation as to what these things mean and why they may occur.

This is the the Notification status from paypal side.
pending_reason=unilateral means the payment is pending because it was made to an email address that is not registered and/or confirmed onto a PayPal account. So the transaction has not processed yet,then it is in a pending status.
