This article, considers that “Trapped in the Closet” was one of the musical highlights of 2006.

“R. Kelly wowed audiences yet again with his modern rap opera. “Trapped in the Closet” managed to break through boundaries many didn’t even know existed. By introducing characters in such an eloquent way, Kelly kept Americans on the edge of our collective seat as we were amazed to find out the baby’s daddy was in fact the stripping midget. Hopefully 2007 will bring chapters 13-22 and the answers to our questions: who are Tina and Roxanne? How does the policeman know Chuck and Rufus? And how can our judicial system be so messed up as to send Twan to jail?”
