Entertainment Weekly
While his songwriting game can get amateur... Saadiq's bass virtuosity is strictly pimp caliber. [8 Oct 2004, p.117]

New York Magazine
Despite its faults--and there are many--Ray Ray is a startlingly inventive record.

Vibe
Ray Ray hits more than it misses in its celebration of a time when George was making the mothership connection and Marvin just wanted to get it on. [Nov 2004, p.160]

Ranging from funk, R&B and soul to gospel and hip-hop overtones, Ray Ray delivers the goods.

All Music Guide
Ray Ray occasionally loses focus, slipping into moments that are either undercooked or worthy of the cutting room, but it's enjoyable enough to keep his followers happy and will certainly act as a remedy for those who don't like the gold-bricked path being taken by mainstream R&B.

Mojo
Profoundly disappointing. [Jan 2005, p.105]
