    Only 3 good songs, plus 3 average songs. The rest is so bad, so childish, it makes the whole album one of the worst he ever released. And it's to short.

    Listened to the album again. It's ok, but nothing more, nothing less. Still expected more from the legend who made When Doves Cry, Purple Rain and Kiss.

    Phase One impresses more on first listen [than Phase Two].... But it wears thin quickly. [Feb 2016, p.54]

    Mashup of overused modern dancefloor styles and rote bragging, with odd moment of classic purple peculiarity. [Dec 2015, p.94]

    Even when HitNRun improves, it implies creative drought. [Nov 2015, p.102]
