AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Emancipation was a critical moment for Prince, one that he designed as an
artistic rebirth and, optimistically, as a commercial comeback. In a typically
perverse fashion, Prince decided to make the album a triple-disc set running
exactly three hours, easily making it the longest album of all-new original
material ever released by a popular artist. As the first album he released since
leaving Warner Brothers, Emancipation was supposed to dazzle, proving that
he had not lost any of his creative skills or power. And it does dazzle, but it's
hard to digest a full three discs of music, even if it is almost all of high quality.
Fortunately, Prince made each disc into a distinct entity in its own right, with
the first being the most pop, the second being a song cycle devoted to his
new marriage, and the third being a dance/funk extravaganza. Throughout all
three discs, Prince tries on a variety of styles, from jazz to R&B, but he
doesn't break any new ground; instead, the album is simply reaffirmation of
his strengths as a composer and a musician. Emancipation doesn't have the
bristling, colorful eclecticism of Sign 'o' the Times nor does it have the wildness
of early one-man projects like 1999 or Dirty Mind, but with its gentle ballads
and complex jams, it signals that Prince has evolved into middle-age
gracefully. It's a mature effort, to be certain, but in this case that doesn't
mean that it's an album bankrupt of ideas -- it means that Prince's craft
continues to grow.
