Reviews
"...an operatic depiction of the conflict (or rather, the confluence) between his spiritual quest and his sensual longings and a streetwise expression of indignation as he strives to project and protect his vision....an amazing range of musical styles...", "...this three-hour, triple-CD set is somewhat less than the wall-to-wall tour de force our man no doubt envisioned. Which isn't to say that there's not easily, oh, an hour's worth of top shelf material here..." - Rating: B, "...The artist was always many things to many people...EMANCIPATION's 36 tracks explore all the identities...", 7 (out of 10) - "...Love has renewed the musical wit and weird imagination that's always made Prince a singular creature. A few songs here might even make the all-time Prince mix tape...", Ranked #16 in the Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
