    If there was ever a record created to turn a pop singer into a star, it's Brown's sophomore effort.

    Though Brown's sweet songs are set up to appeal to a young female fan base, the narratives are mature enough to sway some older folks.

    Though Exclusive skirts the sophomore slip-up, it leaves its protagonist uncertain: Ease on down the road, or look at the man in the mirror? [Nov 2007, p.91]

    You've got to credit Brown and his songwriters and producers for cranking out another handful of easy to remember hits that cover the bases, from upbeat and carefree numbers to go-to mixtape ballads that push all the right target-demographic buttons.
  5. Entertainment Weekly

    Sadly, Brown's adolescent voice and playful scatting--while cute--are steamrolled by pushy collaborators.
  6. NOW Magazine

    Some of the innuendo ('Take You Down') is kind of hurting but the song 'Nice,' gangsta-fied by a Game appearance, is solid.

    There's still nothing very "exclusive" about Exclusive at all.
