  4. 8.0 |   Q

    Reminds us what she does best on polished 12th studio album. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Minogue is an artist growing older gracefully – and that pop maturity doesn’t necessarily have to come at a price

  9. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Kiss Me Once isn’t a game-changing album, but it should churn out enough hits to secure her place on the pop culture radar until her next offering

  10. 7.0 |   Fact

    She’s no technician, obviously, but actually that lack of over-singing is a blessed relief sometimes, and she basically really, really knows how to be Kylie

  11. 7.0 |   Clash

    It's back to jollier dancefloor business as usual after 2012’s ‘The Abbey Road Sessions’ caper, with 11 precision-tooled tracks

  13. 7.0 |   NME

    Kylie can still pull off a very modern pop album

  14. 6.0 |   Entertainment.ie

    This is Kylie at her most Minogue, all happy clappy times, but with most of the edges sanded down

  15. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    A handful of great moments, a bunch of filler, some excruciating lyrics about sex: you could use that to describe countless other Kylie Minogue albums
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   The FT

    It’s solid and unspectacular, a necessary pretext for a new world tour, where the real action lies for Minogue now
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   The Independent

    It must be considered at least a partial success, being both more engaging and more characterful than either X or Aphrodite

  22. 4.2 |   A.V. Club

    A disappointing record that tries too hard to mold Minogue into something she’s not
    Read Review

  23. 4.0 |   musicOMH

    She is far, far too good to be fronting songs which sound ‘current’ only in the sense that you can imagine them ending up on Rihanna‘s rejection pile

  24. 2.0 |   The Arts Desk

    It mostly sounds like Ellie Goulding’s 'Burn', which is not what anyone over 11 years old needs to hear
