Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
a pretty ordinary-sounding record, largely stuck in another, friendlier sonic decade-- namely the 80s
-
AV Club
a third of a terrific Prince album is better than no terrific Prince album at all
-
The Guardian
3121 does enough to remind you what a remarkable artist Prince was
-
Slant Magazine
a wholly listenable and consistent(ly funky) addition to the catalog of one of music’s pop pioneers
-
Washington Post
"3121" is largely irresistible, harking back to Prince's heyday without sounding stale
-
Black Calvinist
this is a great CD. Prince seems to be ‘back’ in the mainstream of music.
-
BBC
devotees of classic Prince will love it
-
Drowned in Sound
more of a collection of songs than a 'play from beginning to end' affair
-
Music OMH
Half of the tracks on 3121 could not have been made by anyone else, but the slushy R&B ballads are not amongst them.
-
Pop Matters
its three or four great songs surrounded by mediocrity is more entertaining than you'd think
-
Anti Music
it is definitely Prince near the top of his game
-
All Music
this is filled with songs that hold their own as individual tunes, yet gel into a cohesive record that is thankfully devoid of an overarching concept
-
The Beat Patrol
Although 3121 includes element of the past, it also contains new realms of experimentation, indicating that Prince may once again want to break ground in new musical territory, instead of writing music which has the sole aim of becoming a hit.
-
Inside Pulse
It’s Prince’s best offering since the early 90s
-
Portland Mercury
3121 contains truly the greatest songs that Prince has produced since 1991's Diamonds and Pearls
