  "Akon spun off two number one pop hits and one number two from Konvicted, so he couldn't be blamed for working the same tricks on his third album, yet Freedom is a major change of pace — the kind of drastic switch-up that normally happens after reaching a creative and commercial dead-end."—allmusicallmusic: Akon Freedom Review

  "Akon did it the wrong way. He ran his vocals through the seriously ridiculous robotic effects and blew the whole album. Whenever you hear vocals like that the first thing that comes to mind is someone that isn’t confident in their vocals. And Akon has no excuse–except perhaps he doesn’t have the abilities to pull this album off without the effects."—UGO HipUGO Hip: Akon Freedom Review
