Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
His moment of reckoning is moving closer, however slowly. But, until then, he's chuckling; comedy, after all, is just tragedy plus time.
-
Stylus Magazine
It’s the most consistently entertaining and lasting of R. Kelly’s albums yet.
-
RollingStone
This album piles on the bump ‘n’ grind, from a title track in which Kelly and Snoop share two freaks apiece to the “sexasaurus,” kangaroos, and jungle noises of the ridiculously sublime “The Zoo.

HIP HOP DX
Long time fans are sure to love it; others perhaps not so much.
-
AV/MUSIC
Double Up boasts its share of filler, and it seldom strays from self-parody
-
SLANT
If you find anything on Double Up remotely sexy, I personally want to sterilize you.

2007's funniest lyrics meet its blandest music in an all-out sex duel!

popMATTERS
Self-proclaimed King of R&B returns with another audacious, entertaining tour de sex.
-
TREBLE
And unlike other mainstream R&B artists, R. Kelly is unafraid to go after his weirdo vision.
-
The Guardian
The reaction Double Up provokes makes you think of the scene from The Producers when the opening night performance of Springtime For Hitler ends and the camera pans on to the audience: open-mouthed, frozen, aghast.

Stop Smiling
Kelly’s internal moral conflict has been reflected in his recorded output, which is divided between church-inspired fare and raunchy club tunes.
