  1. 8.0 |   Record Collector

    It sounds immaculately like now and yesterday all at once. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Think of Flux as an elegant evolution. She’s still dancing, but this time with her heart closer to the surface

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    The album may not offer the radical reinventions of Goldfrapp's duo work, but it doesn't need to - Alison Goldfrapp pioneered these sounds, and on Flux, she's still doing them with effortless elegance

  4. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    Reuniting with co-producer Richard X, Alison Goldfrapp taps into airbrushed textures, shivery synth grooves, and sensual cosmic awakenings

  5. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Her second solo album and first as an independent artist finds her in a relative comfort zone, maintaining a glacial and breathy control

  7. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    She sings about heightened senses, about eroticising sound, about sublime glitterball moments

  8. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Flux lacks a little of the old uncanny razzle dazzle, but there's no doubting the elegance of its execution or the expertise of its creator. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   Uncut

    All pleasant enough, but much like its predecessor, Flux suffers from too much frictionless filler and too few actual dancefloor bangers. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Goldfrapp said in 2023 that she wanted to challenge herself with her solo work, but she seems less edgily present here than she did with her bandmate Will Gregory

  11. 3.0 |   Far Out

    Incredibly safe pop music in an already oversaturated market
