And he’s off to a good start.

All Music
This album could turn out to be the most impressive R&B debut of 2006, as well as one of several milestones in a lengthy career.

Slant Magazine
In My Own Words might pale next to Legend’s stellar debut, but, even at its Robert Kelly worst, it’s not hateable. And isn’t that all one can ask for from mainstream R&B these days?

Sputnik Music
It's a decent album to own but one you may forget that you have if he doesn't follow up with another album.
-
Prefix Mag
In fact, the only thing this record is bound to do is create a minor spike in the population level, which really should be the quiet ambition of every record in this commercially successful, inarguably timeless genre that’s struggling to find its artistic identity.

Pop Matters
The album begs to be kept underneath the pillow alongside the diary/journal of an achy-breaky teen.

Time Out New York
R&B DJs won’t have much trouble spinning the rest of Ne-Yo’s debut album.
-
Blue and Soul
The whole album is experimental. So there`s a little bit of urban; a little bit of pop; some stuff that`s leaning more towards alternative rock/folk-type stuff.

Lets Face the Music Blog
It’s an attempt at honest and “real” lyrics in situation we are meant to relate to but it’s all a little icky without a real big and sexy voice to back it up.
