  1. Her most far-out R&B work to date.
  2. Despite all the new assistance, Tasty is formatted much like Kaleidoscope and Wanderland, constantly swinging back and forth between bouncy pop and laid-back (not throwback) soul.
  3. Far and away her most radio-friendly album to date.
  4. After the patchy pleasures of 'Wanderland', 'Tasty' is a huge Roman orgy of an album.
  5. 70
    ‘Tasty’, though haunted by more than a few sops to the slick-soul zeitgeist, is an impressive return.

    Whereas Wanderland at least felt like Kelis was moving in a new direction... Tasty seems retrogressive, a step back into a more conventional landscape of guest raps and heavy basslines. [Mar 2003, p.106]

    A Very Good Album. "Milkshake" was the hype, but what people didn't hear was the rest of this great album. Kelis's voice is enough to grabA Very Good Album. "Milkshake" was the hype, but what people didn't hear was the rest of this great album. Kelis's voice is enough to grab your atention, but combine that with hot beats and synths and you get a masterpiece. Key Tracks: "Milkshake" "In Public" "Marathon" Expand

It has some of the best R'nB/Hip Hop/Soul songs this century. Kelis has pushed the boundaries and created something that artists such as beyonce could only wish about. While beyonces album was good in its own right, when compared to what Kelis can do her music sounds weak and poor. A masterpiece. Expand

    Terrible album. First record I've listened to from Kelis. First and last. Not good at all.
