Legend received a polarized response upon release. AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called Legend "a set distinguishable from the rest of his catalog mainly for its length and crowd of collaborators." He found that "Legend is at his best when entertainment isn't his objective." [2] Rolling Stone critic David Browne remarked that "Legend lets loose on the first half and shows tasteful restraint on the other." [4]
