The overall impression is that of an artist whose guiding light is commercial performance

The album’s lyrics largely eschew mathematical objects in favor of soul-baring

The album’s strongest suit is in traditional love-sexy rhythm and blues

Brown does maintain his bad boy image.

Music Times
Ultimately pleasing roller coaster musical ride.

Journlism Miziko
The album as a whole is very good. Brown did a good job fusing old-school RnB with a new upbeat style.
-
Tell Tales
Chris is back in full swing
-
NY Times
The standout songs in what’s primarily a sea of mediocrity. Mr. Brown is a lithe singer but not a particularly emphatic one

Vulture
Joyless Slog and Already Sounds Like a Relic
-
Campus Circle
X maintains the same sound throughout, with traces of EDM potent in almost every song. Grade
-
Oh No They Didn't
Maybe there's hope for Brown yet — or maybe he's betting his new batch of potential chart-toppers will change the subject
-
Gawker
Over the course of 21 tracks and about 75 minutes of music, the guy says nothing of consequence.
-
Hit the Floor
Fortunatelty the strong moments here are really strong. So you are left with an album that has plenty to skip as well as plenty to enjoy.
-
The Hoya
However, the album as a whole is rather boring and does not showcase anything new from the troubled star.
-
Mind Equals Blown
X is solid like all previous albums, but needs to be trimmed down and focused.
-
Bol
'X' will be a huge success again, just like all his previous albums.
-
Odessey News Magazine
The album isn’t completely flawed, though. It features artists like Nicki Minaj, Usher and Kendrick Lamar who throw in a verse or two.
-
Graeme ONeil
Chris has given us an album that you have to pick apart in order to find the good stuff. With a stellar opening and strong finish
-
Soul in Stereo
X has quite a few strong tracks – some of the best in Brown’s career.
-
The National
He’s at least had the sense to upgrade his meat-and-potatoes R&B, with a varied, zeitgeist-chasing team behind the boards.
-
Complex
Chris Brown appears more self-aware and ready for reflection, a quality that has carried over to his music

Dopeness Magazine
Shows Chris Brown’s growth of an artist, unlimited talent and potential.
-
MTV
But as usual Breezy delivers a number of great musical moments
-
Renowned for Sound
Brown has veered more into street territory – and while it’s still danceable, it’s devoid of catchy hooks and sing-along elements
-
Wall Of Sound Magazine
Sense more emotion and maturity in some of the songs which are the backbone of the albums success
-
Idolator
It all lends to a well-executed club banger that feels simultaneously like a private moment –
-
Mimo
Give us a look into Breezy’s soul that few of his radio hits ever did. Definitely worth the listen
-
Vibe
X should fall in the top three of his discography thus far because as messy as it is, it sounds like progress
-
34th Street
It ranges from satisfyingly bouncy club bangers to a seductive R. Kelly tribute
-
Cleveland
Brown fares much better when he keeps things simple and genuine to who he is
-
AXS
Every song on "X" is worth a listen.
-
XXL Magazine
It’s safe to say that Chris Brown will forever remain the consumer’s guilty pleasure.—

Over all is a great album.

Spectrum Pulse
This is not a good record by any sane standards of modern R&B.

Chris Brown managed to craft one of his best albums to date

London Groove
This album is solid with enough up tempos, and club tracks to keep your head bopping, though he is yet to showcase his full potential

Chris Brown's talent is undeniable, I'm certainly not downplaying it, and in many ways that talent has never been more undeniable than on this album.

The Original Society
Brown has created his standout album with X.

USA Today
Chris Brown makes some commendable, if measured, steps toward a more mature sound on his sixth album, X

An all around good album, yet unnecessarily long
