  1. 10.0 |   Rave Magazine

    I’m starting to feel like a bit of a bore banging on about how good the Body Talk series is, but you really need some of this in your life

  2. 10.0 |   A.V. Club

    Euphoric, personal, and inspirational to the last beat

  3. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    Body Talk shows just how easily she can churn out hits more frequently than labels can process production teams. Robyn deserves her success

  4. 9.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    These tracks concentrate on what the series has done best: ecstatic, club-inspired pop filled with massive throbbing synths and arpeggiated bleeps

  5. 8.7 |   Pitchfork

    She should be universal. So why isn't she?
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

    By picking the best of the project’s songs, it feels like a greatest-hits collection and brand new album rolled into one

  7. 8.0 |   State

    These songs are immediate in effect and almost impossible to overdose from
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    Sophisticated pop songs that remain impossibly chart-friendly. Proof that it's possible to have both quantity and quality
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    It's the fierce, contrary spirit driving the swaggering rap of U Should Know Better, or We Dance to the Beat's icy electro, that makes Robyn really fascinating
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   Eye Weekly

    Anyone who has the first two Body Talks only needs to round out the collection with minimal iTunes purchases; this collection is more for the uninitiated, and it's a decent place to start

  11. 8.0 |   Prefix

    Body Talk concludes a triptych of highly enjoyable pop albums
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   BBC

    The first genuinely exciting, no-filler, pure pop full-length album since Lady Gaga’s The Fame. And not a fright-wig in sight
    Read Review

  13. 8.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Other than Radiohead, few other artists have delved so deeply into the disconnection between modern technology and human experience, and Body Talk emerges as pop music's answer to the Ghost in the Shell series
    Read Review

  14. 8.0 |   DIY

    Five solid new additions that contain all the familiar Robyn ingredients, rounding things off more than carrying on the experimentation
    Read Review

  15. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    Sensitive yet dynamic, familiar yet surprising, Robyn once again reigns as the undisputed queen of electro-pop
    Read Review

  16. 7.8 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Her production team deserves most of the praise for Body Talk–musically, the songs help earn Robyn that “progressive pop” tag
    Read Review

  17. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    When all three parts are taken together, though, it’s obvious that somewhere in that mishmash of tracks, Robyn has truly crafted the Album of the Year. Body Talk, however, is not it
    Read Review

  18. 7.0 |   Clash

    The 'Body Talk' round-up, five tracks from the first two volumes plus five new ones, sound more like a mop up exercise than a coherent album, the atrocious programming of the tracks doesn’t help either.
    Read Review

  19. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The Body Talk trilogy could/should have been a truly groundbreaking single album. In other words, it’s a classic double-album quandary of quantity over quality
