Timberlake reined in his musical vision just enough to make this album more focused and engaging—but didn’t lose sight of his desire to take chances

2 of 2 takes grooves deeper, lyrics freakier, the format hotter

While the album verges on self-indulgency on a few different occasions, it's this loosening of the creative shackles that allows Timberlake and his producer Timbaland the room they need to really stretch their legs

The Line Of Best Fit
This doesn’t un-release the first record. If the first was not for you, an extra 74 minutes is not going to change your mind. Though if it was, what’s not to love about more of it?

PopMatters
The 20/20 Experience (2 of 2) is quite the step up from the first part. Even when it plunges into excess — which it does quite often — the basic pop structures underneath remain far more compelling than anything off of Part One

2 of 2 doesn't so much eclipse its predecessor as it settles into the format more believably

Timberlake shines when he plays to his strengths, waxing lyrical on his prowess with the fairer sex over futuristic pop and slinky R’n’B

The construction is similar to that of the first volume. At 74 minutes and 11 (or 12) songs, it's a little longer, and much of it has that feel-over-concision, part-improv - just spit ballin'! - makeup
