Critic Reviews
Show All-
RollingStone
R. Kelly tries out new moves, vows to ‘get you mad pregnant’ on a pervtastic opus.
-
HIP HOP DX
Overall, The Buffet is a satisfying dish.
-
SPIN
The Buffet is better than just another R. Kelly album, but not enough to be worth saying so outside of a review, much less on a year-end list; call it a good one-night stand.
-
INDEPENDENT
It’s an OK effort overall, but far from Kelly’s best work; and it really goes to pieces in the five bonus tracks of the deluxe edition, which spin off in all directions.
-
ALL MUSIC
The Buffet does have more dimensions than Black Panties, including the enjoyable "Step in the Name of Love" rewrite "Backyard Party" and the throwback, Love Letter-styled "All My Fault."
-
NME
Maybe it’s because the whole sex-food thing is so overdone that the 18 tracks never drag, and it’s not often you can say that about a hip hop or R’n’B album.
-
The New York Times
The point is that all of these songs are capable, and one is not much better than another.
-
Los Angeles Times
Overstuffed as it is undercooked.
-
CLASH
It's a real shame that out of 18 songs whittled down from a reported 462, the album has just three consistently good songs.
-
SOUL IN STEREO
Individually, there are some choice morsels here. But when packaged together, the finished product winds up jarring and disjointed.
-
The Boombox
It's a solid album with some great songs and some mediocre songs.
-
the musical hype
R. Kelly tries too hard, hence making the first portion album way oversexed.
