Slant Magazine
Aaliyah has learned how to align herself with A-list producers without losing her individuality and, instead, makes the sound her own.

Sputnik Music
It's not her untimely passing that merits a 5, but her newfound womanhood and ability to produce an R&B masterpiece of love and loss that fuses all genres, most notably rock, (and without Timbaland as a main crutch) that makes this album a classic.
-
NME
Tasteful album fails to transcend 'satisfying'.
-
Fuse
Despite not being available for streaming or on iTunes due to conflicts with the now-defunct Blackground Records, it still holds up as one of the most innovative projects not just in R&B, but in music as a whole.
-
BBC
A remarkable tribute to her ability.
-
All Music
Aaliyah never oversings, never oversells the songs -- this comes on easy and sultry, and there's a lot of substance here, in terms of the songwriting and the songs themselves.

Black Squirrel Radio
While she may not be with us, her legacy still lives on and the legacy of this album is still going strong, despite the ongoing lawsuit that has put it in jeopardy.
-
A.V. Club Music
Aaliyah has often been overshadowed by her collaborators, but her strikingly assured third album establishes the young overachiever as a major artist in her own right.
-
Soul Culture
Aaliyah always did just enough to show us that she was ALL that, but never too much.
-
Vibe
You could tell the beats were tailor made just for her, showcasing her knack for tackling challenging beats while pushing the envelope even further in the world of sound.

People
If Britney Spears is the next Madonna, then Aaliyah is evolving into her generation’s Janet Jackson.
-
RTE
'Aaliyah' is the smoothest and most seductive R'n'B album of the year, with lyrics that are appealingly upfront and assertive.

Adrian's Album Reviews
'Aaliyah' is an album with more genuinely good moments than either of her previous LPs and her death was untimely to say the least. Good stuff, this album, good stuff.
