Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
According to most reasonable criteria, Beyonce's second album B'Day is a success, outpacing her solo debut Dangerously in Love.
-
Slant Magazine
The aggressiveness of the largely uptempo B’Day is more reminiscent of her former group at their commercial peak.
-
Rolling Stone
B’day should keep her bank balance high.
-
SputnikMusic
It was difficult to bear at times, mercifully, but you can't claim you weren't warned.
-
The Guardian
Apart from a few pop-R&B space-fillers, there's not much to dislike about B'Day.
-
AllMusic
There is nothing desperate or weak about this album.
-
Prefix Magazine
In the world of contemporary soul, everyone is just catching up to her.
-
NY Times
With an album as premeditated and as nutty as “B’Day,” Beyoncé now qualifies as a full-fledged diva.
-
PopMatters
I still think that Beyonce has a perfect masterpiece in her, but I guess we'll have to wait until the next album to find out.
-
The Young Folks
Because B’Day lacks a major concept, it’s able to do more both conceptually and musically.
-
The Boombox
B'Day was a monumental moment for music fans worldwide and would elevate Beyonce from princess-in-waiting to a full-fledged queen in the musical landscape.
