Blender

Kelly sounds exhilaratingly unhinged by passion. It drives him into territory no one else is able--or willing--to navigate. [Aug 2005]

PopMatters

Like all of his previous work over the past 13 years, he has given R&B fans something to sing about.

Vibe

While the content is strictly sex obsessed, the range of musical styles here is as varied and satisfying as the many positions and places the album will take you. [Sep 2005, p.229]

Pitchfork

TP3 Reloaded is one of those albums where every song sounds like a radio single.

The New York Times

He is now the unquestioned master of the ultra-slow groove, where the beat turns into an inner throb as notes ooze and drip from his synthesizers. [4 Jul 2005]

Billboard

He doesn't break any new lyrical ground, but Kelly's talent for penning original, infectious grooves remains intact.

Uncut

A gleaming set of R&B, pop, bedroom soul and even reggae. [Sep 2005, p.112]

Rolling Stone

Easy on the ears, a little ridiculous and enthralling all at once. [28 Jul 2005, p.80]

The Onion (A.V. Club)

TP.3 Reloaded initially seems like a rote exercise in self-parody, then a delightful romp in self-parody, then finally something in between.

Dot Music

Unsurprisingly, "TP3.com" is overblown and overlong with appearances from the usual suspects - The Game, Twista and the ubiquitous Snoop - and production qualities as impressive as his libido.

The Guardian

It's not that R lacks imagination, but Sex in the Kitchen, Sex Weed and (Sex) Love Is What We Makin' ... suggest that he needs to sort out his libido if he's going to be remembered as anything other than a heavy-handed stud.

All Music Guide

With one or two exceptions, all of these songs are second and third rate by his standard.

Stylus Magazine

Uneven by and large, and below what we all know R.’s capable of, this one mostly shoots blanks.

Entertainment Weekly

Listen at your own peril. [8 Jul 2005, p.71]

New Musical Express

Too gloopily uniform. [16 Jul 2005, p.50]

Los Angeles Times

Kelly's whole approach is familiar and threadbare. [3 Jul 2005]

Village Voice

Somebody press more charges against this fool--he's losing focus.

If it’s funny and not unlistenable, we may have a kitsch classic on our hands, right? No. The third way to describe this album is: reprehensible.

lachan d gave it an8:
If you are a R. Kelly fan you can't give this ablum nothing less than 8. Time after time he comes out with magicial songs. I've been a Kelly fan since he first came out. I think he is misunderstood and doesn't get the full credit he deserves. Just look at the list of people he's mad hits for, not including his own hits. I thank that he will become the greatest song writer every.
