Included in Q's list of 'The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...Bowie's touch here is surer than at any time since the late '70s...."
4 Stars - Excellent - "...if any collection of songs could reinstate his godhead status, then this is it..."

Village Voice (11/23/93, p.88) - "...the music is the artiste's most arresting in many years; the dancebeats and electrotextures make you prick up your ears and wonder where they'll lead...." - Rating: B-
