CRITIC REVIEWS

80
The Guardian
An accomplished funk and soul debut from a precocious 19-year-old, but no hint whatsoever of the outrageously gifted talent that was soon to emerge.
67
Entertainment Weekly
A professional, if derivative, one-man-band debut, most notable for ”Soft and Wet” and Prince’s Afro on the cover.

AllMusic

On his debut album, For You, Prince shows exceptional skill for arranging and performing mainstream urban R&B and funk, but his songwriting remains conventional.

I expected much worse from a debut album tbh. This wasn't bad at all. It featured some nice catchy tracks; nothing too deep or complex. Of course, Prince upped the ante on his next record and from then on continued to produce fantastic music for the rest of his career.

Strong 6/10
