album by TGT

Critical reception
AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called Three Kings an "hourlong affair that doesn't deviate much from any of the men's recent solo work [...] It's heavy on slow jams and ballads, drawing from elder leaders of the form, such as the Isley Brothers, Roger Troutman, and R. Kelly. Some of the songs are as strong as anything from the members' 2010s solo work, but not much truly stands out." Brent Faulkner from PopMatters called Three Kings a "good and enjoyable R&B album. "Great" might be a stretch given the exhaustive length and overplay on sex and the profane, but there are plenty of pros about this effort. The biggest triumph is how well Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank blend vocally. Even when the material could use a boost, TGT impress vocally." Independent Online's Munya Vomo found that the album "was worth the wait [...] The album has a number of baby-making songs which comes as no surprise since the singers’ individual projects were about that too."
Commercial performance
Three Kings debuted at number three on the us Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 76,000 copies in the United States. The album also opened at number one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming Tank's fourth, Ginuwine's third and Tyrese first album to do so.
