Speaking in July 2008 to noted UK R&B writer Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul, Legend explained what he wanted to achieve musically with Evolver: "I wanted it to be diverse. So I basically just wanted to make some great records that together covered the whole gamut of the various forms of expression I feel comfortable doing. So we have a couple of club tracks; we have a reggae song; we have a few really strong ballads... and kind of everything in between. Plus we have a political anthem at the end as well. So, while there are some elements that people have heard in previous albums of mine, I also think there are some things people HAVEN'T heard from me before. And I think that's what makes the album interesting. In particular I feel I've made different arrangement and production choices this time. While I don't think my writing style itself has changed significantly, sonically the main difference is that we chose to use more electronic instruments on this record."[3]
Billboard gave it a positive review and said that "Legend's voice remains beyond reproach, but for a guy who's an oasis of style and soul in a sea of synthetic, robo-call R&B, at times it seems like he's playing catch-up."[18] The New York Times likewise gave it a positive review and stated: "With reverberations and a choral backdrop straight out of Seal, it's his only overreach. Mr. Legend is more charming one-on-one."[19] The Village Voice also gave it a favorable review and stated: "As the dying industry is still breathing in the toxins of useless filler, patrons like John Legend are fully indulging their creativity in all its flawed glory, just like the soul giants of yesteryear."[20] AllHipHop likewise gave it a positive review and stated: "Even if Evolver is less cohesive due to the integration of the Pop sound to the alternative styles [Legend] played around with in Once Again, it still is light years ahead of any artist mimicking his suave persona."[21] The Boston Globe similarly gave it a positive review and stated that, "As the title suggests, Legend is a work-in-progress, and this stage in his evolution is worth hearing."[22] Hartford Courant likewise gave it a positive review and said that the album "delivers what it promises: A singer, songwriter and musician pushing himself to grow. This is a good first step."[23]
"We had plenty of time to work on this, plenty of time to work on music, so all the things that I love to do creatively, I'd had more times to do them," Legend explained of the new shoe collection, John Legend x Sperry. "This is our creative house. We create here and we've had plenty of time to do that and it's a lot of fun."
However, this popular song, co-written by John Legend and Kanye West, among others, managed to receive generally positive reviews at the time of controversy.
