AllMusic[7]

Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote that "Seventeen years after his solo debut, and two years after his Top Five album with Tank and Ginuwine as TGT, Tyrese has come up with a surprisingly modest, ballad-rich collection seemingly devised with longevity in mind. Should this turn out to be Tyrese's last album, as the singer threatened prior to its release, it will finish his music career on a high note."[7]

Tyrese's Fast and Furious co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson called Black Rose, "The biggest piece of dogshit I have ever heard. Everyone's laughing by the way, but it's true 'cause everyone's heard it too. Everyone's heard it. Everyone's like 'oh yeah big piece of dogshit'. Shouldn't be called Black Rose, it should be called Big Piece of Black Dogshit. Not even hard dried-up dogshit for seven days. It's the soft dogshit. It's like baby shit. It's like that. That's what the album is like, and I never want to hear it again and I'm never gonna fucking forgive him for wasting my time. Time that I will never get back. It's like dogshit is in my ear. Motherfucker."[8][9][10]
