Pitcchfork
After a stretch of wonderful, diverse singles, Ciara hunts high and low for a new hit and loses her already slippery identity in the process.

BBC
Soul pop that could take Ciara to the next level.

IGN
Sometimes seen as one of today's most underrated female vocalists, this album showcases the singer's diversity.

Pop Matters
Even still, Fantasy Ride is at worst a highly competent contemporary R&B album. It’s also oftentimes thrilling.
-
Slant Magazine
But while Fantasy Ride doesn’t include as many obvious peaks as Ciara’s previous discs, the only major disaster is “Like a Surgeon,” which is filled with creepy, ill-conceived metaphors for sex and that makes Fantasy Ride Ciara’s smoothest ride to date.

Sputnik Music
A sexy, spacey rollercoaster of an album.
-
HipHopDX
As the R&B starlet continues her progression toward maturity with her third album Fantasy Ride, she also plunges into the abstract and manages to stay afloat.
-
The Guardian
At her best, her pace is furious, and keeping up is exhilarating.

All Music
Even if Ciara imaginatively develops the "Super C" superhero introduced in the disc's booklet, she and her collaborators will have to work extra hard on the next album to ensure that she does not stall in a creative cul de sac.

Digital Spy
This is a solid rather than spectacular efforts that's lacking in surefire hits.
