The sound is largely fresh and pays genuine homage to carefree nights at the disco with gusto, charm and flair, all qualities that Minogue has in spades

Kylie has an invitation (“whatcha waiting for? get up on the floor”), the music is speeding up - and even if the only floor in prospect is in your own home, it would be rude not to dance

Spectrum Culture
Though not a reinvention of the genre nor of Minogue, Disco adds to each one’s pop culture standing, the former as a foundational pillar of today’s music and the latter as a prolific and still wonderfully entertaining pop act for nearly 30 years

Vinyl Chapters
On the one hand, the album delivers exactly what it advertises: back-to-back disco bangers. On the other hand, Kylie relies a little too much on clichés and buzzwords around clubbing, which feels a bit tone-deaf given that’s not possible at the moment

The Quietus
As a collection of songs, Disco is a terrific soundtrack to washing the dishes or a dance-off. But this album itself underestimates its own artist, which is in a small way unforgivable
