SamDMar 20, 2006yeah, this was horrid. i've seriouly never heard a more mediocre album in my life. there is nothing unique about it, and the songs, since it's rap, drive me out of my mind. what happened to rap, it used to stand for something, now, it's just fluff, bad fluff.

While tracks like "So Sick" and "Stay" hit a few sweet neosoul spots, this perfectly pleasant disc is lacking that roundhouse kick that floors you.

BillboardThough, at times, the lyrics are a bit too sentimental ("Time") and production is spotty, "In My Own Words" should have listeners clinging to Ne-Yo's every word. [4 Mar 2006]
