Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
After surviving for years in a ravenously young genre (and, of course, his legal battles), this beguiling pop culture oddball finds himself oddly adrift.
-
Consequence of Sound
R. Kelly might be coming to the end of his reign, but today he backpedaled a step and managed to churn out a couple of decent hits.
-
Slant Magazine
We’d all be better off if he focused a little more on the former.
-
The Guardian
His voice is heavenly and the production cool and slinky, but all that really registers is the explicitness of the lyrics.
-
Rolling Stone
One nice touch: Kelly is getting unselfish in his middle age.
-
AV Music
Kelly is still intermittently hilarious—if never intentionally so—but too much of Untitled feels generic, which is a curious flaw for a larger-than-life eccentric with the most, though not necessarily the best, personality in mainstream R&B.
-
All Music
He’s coasting here, no doubt about it, but no one can coast like he can.
-
Billboard
The singer/songwriter redeems himself on his newest release, "Untitled."
-
HipHopDX
Instead of creating trends, Kellz is content with being a chameleon, adapting to lyrics and music of today’s radio scene and creating tracks that fit that world.
-
Soul Tracks
Untitled continues his wild, cross-country ambitions into uncensored, raw material.
-
Telegraph
R Kelly maintains his unwavering focus on Untitled.
-
Boston
R&B’s maestro of carnality hits the sweet spot with his best record in years - a focused, expertly executed suite of songs. His subject? This is R. Kelly, folks. Sex, sex, and sex.
-
BBC
Despite its polished production and vocals, Untitled is ultimately flawed by overtly macho lyrics and Kelly’s insistence to force fans to hear about his sex life.
-
Exclaim
Nineties R&B was baby-making music for a reason: it was passionate, intense and romantic even. R. Kelly was part of that era and even now, ten albums deep with Untitled, he clearly hasn't abandoned the format.
-
Spin
Fortunately, several of its prime cuts, including the silky-smooth “Go Low,” surface on Untitled, which contains no shortage of fresh raunch.
