Sammen med Whitney Houston var Mariah Carey en af de absolutte topstjerner i 90'erne, når det kom til let og sukret r&b. Som det var tilfældet med Whitney Houston, kom også Mariah Careys karriere i turbulens omkring årtusindskiftet, hvilket kulminerede med at Mariah blev dumpet af sit pladeselskab Virgin efter det helt fortjente filmflop "Glitter". Island gav hende dog en ny chance, og modsat Houston er Mariahs karriere igen på skinner. Det er dette nye album et bevis på. Indholdet er en velkendt blanding af letbenet pop, r&b og hip hop, men sammenlignet med den meget letvægtspoppede forgænger "Charmbracelet" er her dog mere vægt på "rigtig" r&b, og der er prominente gæsteoptrædener fra Snoop Dogg, Twista og Nelly.

"Despite its grim title with its visions of messy self-absorption, The Emancipation of Mimi is - mostly - cool, focused and urban. Her buddies Nelly, Twista and Snoop Dogg set the hip-hop tone, making Carey sound like a guest on her own record, but even when she lets them dominate, it's quality domination. A headbanging Fatman Scoop rap may define It's Like That, for instance, but Carey is very much a presence, unfurling her three octaves judiciously".

"The Emancipation of Mimi still works, at least as a slick, highly crafted piece of dance-pop -- it might not be as hip as it thinks it is, nor is it as catchy as it should be, but it's smooth and listenable, which is enough to have it qualify as a relative comeback for "Mimi" Carey".
