AllMusic | [2] |

AllMusic editor Alex Henderson found that Vol. 1 "isn't the last word on Kelly's output; some major hits are missing, and the Vol. 1 part of the title implies that a Vol. 2 is needed. But for the novice or casual listener who wants to have many of Kelly's hits in the same place, Vol. 1 serves its purpose nicely."[2] In his review for Rolling Stone, Jon Caramanica wrote: "If only you could separate the music from the man. In an era of hip-hop excess, Chicago's R. Kelly held a torch for vintage soul, updated for the streets [...] In light of Kelly's legal troubles, though, listening to his more provocative material – and most of it is just that – can be grueling."[3][4]
