    For the most part, Ms. Knowles does more reinventing than revisiting.

    The best evidence of Ms. B's growth as an artist (and woman) is seen in the ballads and mid-tempo tracks.
  6. AllMusic
    80
    The first half is good enough to make Dangerously in Love one of the best mainstream urban R&B records released in 2003.
  7. ShakingThrough.net
    76
    One of the most refreshing modern R&B records from a diva-ascendant in a long time.

If you do not like/love this album then you dont know how to identify good music. She goes from sexy to rage to fun in a heartbeat, its so diverse! Buy this album seriously if you havent already! No artist is touching this woman!… Full Review »
