This record was an extremely smart move." Bangkok Post 's Chanun Poomsawai felt that Love, Marriage & Divorce "may not necessarily reinvent the wheel, but it’s a proof that both R&B veterans are still on top of their game even after two decades in the business. Considering this is Babyface's first album in 7 years and Braxton's first album in 4 years, this album delivers a much needed shot in the arm. Even when the two are hitting the "divorce" part of the record, it never sounds like a downer. Honestly, Babyface and Braxton give us a glimpsing reminder of what high-quality R&B radio used to offer its listeners. Both endured broken marriages, and presumably it's those experiences that inform the material here – a succinct collection of 11 songs, eight of which are duets." Īllan Raible from ABC News felt that "this record seems gloriously stuck in a time warp. Yet amid these consistent songs, the single sole-composer credit stands out." Īndy Kellman from AllMusic called the album a "solid addition to both artists' discographies," stating "on Love, Marriage & Divorce, Braxton and Babyface, creative partners going back to the early '90s, rekindle their musical relationship. In his review for Cuepoint, Robert Christgau gave the album an A– rating, writing "weathered now, their mellow voices retain some lustre, and there’s narrative arc and emotional texture to the well-doctored material-hurting the one you don’t want to hurt, worrying about how she’s doing, makeup sex, post-split attraction. Love, Marriage & Divorce was met with positive reviews from critics.
