Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "Anyone who witnessed this year's Super Bowl halftime show was reminded that Prince possesses more talent in his little pinky than your average musician. Really, though, he's been on a resurgent roll since 2004's Musicology, following that up with last year's standout 3121. He's got his purple mojo working again on Planet Earth, which, at its best, recalls his '80s reign. A song like 'Guitar,' the ax-slinging first single, is classic Prince, full of sexy swagger, Revolution-era riffs and cheeky humor ('I love you baby, but not like I love my guitar'). Meanwhile, the sumptuous, jazz-kissed 'Somewhere Here on Earth' is [a] vintage falsetto ballad. … Elsewhere, the CD is bookended with two tracks — the title tune and 'Resolution' — that reveal Prince's concern for the world beyond his bedroom" ("Music: Critic's Choice," 8/6/07, p. 41).
