Slant Magazine
It’s certainly going to dilate the cervixes of the demographic among B’s fanbase who can’t hold it in whenever she howls out a slow-burning torch song. In 46 minutes and 12 tracks, 4 suggests a full-term nine months. […]
Pitchfork
It’s a fitting sentiment and song to introduce 4, which largely deals with monogamy and all that comes with committing to one person for a potential lifetime. Which, like a bad marriage, might sound boring, repetitive, staid. […]
The Guardian
This isn’t by any means a bad album. There’s nothing wrong with a song such as Love on Top, which is well written, has a great vocal and will doubtless help ensure Knowles doesn’t have to manage on a mere $35m in the next 12 months. It’s just that it isn’t the album you might have been led to expect. […]
