What really differentiates the album from its predecessors is that there's almost no trace of tension to be heard. It's all about fooling around and being in love.
-
Dupri exits the album halfway through, leaving the final five songs almost entirely to Jam-Lewis-Jackson. She seems hopelessly drawn to their old-school settings of strings, real pianos and quiet-storm drama.
-
Janet is as crafty and poised as ever. Her flirtations are still a pleasure, but an overly familiar one.
-
BlenderIt's hard to catch much buzz off fun that sounds so much like work. [Dec 2006, p.170]
-
The saddest thing about 20 Y.O. is that Janet's decision to hedge her bets on an album whose backbone is made up of terrible R&B instead of great dance music.
-
A record that surgically removes all trace of sensuality and replaces it with calculated, mechanical, by-numbers bump'n'grind action.
-
It's a bland album that rarely shifts tempo and shows almost none of the personality Jackson used to have.

MattD.Oct 3, 2006Pleasant, but with too few stand outs. Probably won't put her back on top of the R&B scene.
