Spin called Flesh Tone one of the “25 Summer Albums That Matter Most,” and gave it an eight out of ten rating in an album review, noting: “Kelis’ fifth album is part reinvention, part creative vengeance…the R&B maverick goes full tilt house diva.” “It’s the classic throb of disco liberation,” observed Rolling Stone while Vibe said it “gives drag queens and house lovers a new aural fixation.” “Flesh Tone…is built to detonate like a bomb on the dance floor,” said Elle. Perez Hilton gave the album a rave review on his website and has been tweeting about it non-stop, saying most recently: “I am LOVING that album!!!!!! From start to finish, it’s fire!”
