Dec 16, 2015Unlike its predecessor, this is a very pleasant suprise. An album full of lush sounds, great melodies. On constant repeat since I got it. His voice has rarely sounded so good on record.

Dec 17, 2015This, however, is great. The first phase was... meh, but this is the true Prince. Don't think this is going to sound the same as the previous album, it's something much better.

Dec 17, 2015This must be the best work of Prince in over a decade. It may consist of songs we already know, but they flow so nicely together. Let's forget Phase One (apart from some good tunes), it's Phase Two all over. Welcome back Prince, glad you never left.

Sep 23, 2017Great late Prince. You can hear that he had a lot of ideas in him. Spirit never left Prince. Those 'Phases' were like some preparation for something more and exciting like always with him. Song Revelation is a miracle.. Love U prince. Rest in peace.

Dec 21, 2015What can i say? I haven't stopped listening to this album since it was released. This is great music. Every song is good. Prince's voice is as strong as ever, the lyrics are clever, sexy and meaningful. The music! Guitars, bass, horns, oh my! My favorite racks are Black Muse, Groovy Potential, When She Comes and Look At Me, Look At U. This is one of Princes best.

The WireFeb 18, 2016Even in the midst of the fairly wretched Phase Two there are gems but you sure have to dig for them. [Feb 2016, p.54]

Q MagazineFeb 4, 2016And so, yet again, Prince remains an artist in sore need of an outside editor. Still, if your attention span as a Prince fan has been sorely tested, HITnRUN Phase Two is a good point to reconnect with him. [Mar 2016, p.113]

Jan 14, 2016It adds up to his most consistently engaging album in years, blending in echoes of the ghosts of Prince past (à la “Sexy MF” and “Come”) while still sounding refreshingly modern.
