Critical Reception

"Unpredictable" has received generally mixed or average reviews from music critics. E! online reviewed the album mostly positively saying: "Whether he makes it all work via his musical skills or chameleonic acting ability, we don't know, but it does work." Rolling Stone magazine had a mixed review to the album, saying: "When the album works, it's because of Foxx's easy charm and A-list confidence."

But Paste magazine was less impressed saying: "It's better to be the imitation Ray Charles than the poor man's R. Kelly." Q Magazine was dissapointed in Foxx's album stating that: "The voice that set such a spark to(Kanye)West's (#1 hit single)Gold Digger should be capable of more than this exaggerated comedy sex routine." Alex Petridis of the British newspaper the guardian was also not impressed with "Unpredictable" saying: "Unpredictable resembles another legendary thespian's venture into pop, William Shatner's 1968 opus The Transformed Man, in that you start to wonder whether Foxx is actually serious or not."
