    While listeners can't help but be reminded of his fall from grace, Brown also shows us on Graffiti that he's still a formidable talent.-

    Chris Brown has made a bland, occasionally obnoxious, pro forma R&B album.
  3. Los Angeles Times

    A handful of lovingly arranged power ballads were evidently designed to illuminate the singer's remorse over the Rihanna incident. Yet Brown doesn't seem up to the task of contrition.

    Graffiti is worth the buy. The album expresses the way Chris Brown is changing as a man. Turning to a different genre in music, making something we've never heard before. I love this CD!

    I'm sorry but this album isn't great. It's ok though. But compared to his last album, this isn't his greatest.
