  1. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    Above anything ‘Venus’ is truthful, a quality that is the distinct reason why this album cannot be ignored

  2. 7.2 |   Paste Magazine

    There is bottomless romance and regret on Venus with songs like “You Loved Me” and “Not Good Enough.” But mostly, it is the churn of something gone terribly wrong

  3. 6.0 |   Uncut

    As the album progresses, there's just enough to retain the interest of former fans. Print edition only

  4. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Instead of Williams just writing and singing exactly what she wants, this is an album that has the feeling of too many cooks involved

  5. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    She shouldn’t be criticised for setting her sights wider, but this album feels like a wave goodbye to the beauty of the past and a move towards a more clinical future

  6. 5.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The LP's gospel-flavored synth-pop is invitingly adventurous, but Williams can't hold the space like her touchstones here
