The album received mixed reviews. Christian Hoard from Rolling Stone, for example, said:

"R. Kelly's 2004 album Happy People / U Saved Me was a misstep, heavily burdened by invocations of God's infinite compassion for singers wrestling with child pornography charges. But Kelly has dropped all that for the time being: The nineteen-track TP.3 Reloaded is a return to form that acts as if all of his legal troubles were just a bad dream. "

and rated it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

However, Village Voice's Keith Harris gave a negative review, writing:

"R. Kelly gets a little too comfortable with his mysterious failure to come to trial […] Somebody press more charges against this fool — he's losing focus. "

and awarded only 1.5 out of five possible stars.

More neutral reviews were also given. An example of this is this review by Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian :

"The" willingness to experiment "manifests itself as a five-part serial called Trapped in the Closet, each section ending with a" cliffhanger "that supposedly whets the appetite for the next chapter. The plot involves Kelly's fling with a married woman; as with the rest of the album, sheer audacity carries the day. "

She rated the album with three stars out of five.

Overall, the album achieved 60 out of 100 possible points on Metacritic .
