Critic Reviews
Show All-
Slant
The lube-slick but water-soluble Bionic is a party album without a guest list, a sex toy used without self-awareness.
-
NME
Xtina hits back with a host of lavish help, shonky tricks and limited thrills.
-
Consequence of Sound
This new album only has brief instances of shiny pop magic, and the rest filled with the end results of poor musical craftsmanship in almost every aspect.
-
Rolling Stone
She goes for an electro makeover on Bionic, dressing in Gaga-style robot glam and cranking up the Auto-Tune.
-
Drowned in Sound
In this hard game, when you settle down, you settle for second best.
-
Muu Muse
But while the machinery included within isn’t necessarily pieced together properly or as cutting edge as promised, there’s still good enough reason to invest in Aguilera’s latest reboot.
-
MTV News
Christina Aguilera's misunderstood album was actually ahead of its time.
-
All Music
Christina not playing to expectations but simply acting as a natural diva and is all the more compelling for it.
-
Sputnik
Christina shows up late to the party.
-
Random J Pop
Christina is better than this album. So much better.
-
The Guardian
Bionic is very strong, but only in parts.
-
The Grape Juice
Those who are eager to hear Aguilera engaging in her signature screaming best look elsewhere because it seems that she has finally learned that bigger doesn’t always mean better.
-
Plugged In
Bionic's 18 tracks march shamelessly into the sewer in a raunchy, desperate attempt to shock listeners who are increasingly resistant to such treatment in the Lady Gaga era.
-
Digital Spy
The self-proclaimed 'Prima Donna' returns with a voracious octopus of a pop record.
-
EQ Music
It seems like Christina has and will continue to be the poster-girl for pop dynamism.
-
Soul Tracks
On Bionic, Aguilera jumps right into Lady Gaga and Ke$ha territory, although her intentions are to present futuristic, hi-tech pop.
-
Shepard Express
Christina Aguilera's Chameleon-esque Return.
-
The Scotsman
Bionic could have been so much better.
-
Los Angeles Times
In the album's most successful vein — Aguilera plays a hyper-sexed lover bot ready to tie you to the bed posts rather than tie your ears into knots with a well-executed legato.
-
Washington Post
Christina Aguilera's new album 'Bionic' is a mish-mash of Gaga and blah.
-
Pop Dose
This is an hour of machines awkwardly mingling with their human host, and in the end, it smells like a sweaty Lee Majors.
-
Pop Matters
In the end, it is Aguilera’s overzealous penchant for excess that leaves this comeback short of, well, being any good.
-
Beats Per Minute
If she was ever even considered the queen of pop, she surely lost the crown years ago.
-
entertainment
'Bionic' has a modern electronic sound that lives up to its title.
-
Jsays Online
The album is a decent effort broken up into 2 styles. You’re bound to like at least one of those sides.
-
Flop or Not
I think Bionic still sounds fresh and modern in 2014 despite all of its flaws!
-
QRO
Bionic is not a terrible album, but it does not do Aguilera justice – disorientated, jarring and over-sexed, Bionic fails to deliver.
-
No Ripcord
Bionic, does nothing to persuade authenticity.
-
Lauren Day Makeup
Bionic is a new sound for Christina and one of the best albums I have bought in a very long time.
-
Groove Junkie
I would recommend to listen to the whole album repetitively .
-
Express
Textured, credible and most importantly, fun.
-
Hifi Magazine
Bionic isn’t as futuristic and creative as it’s made up to be.
-
UR Chicago
In the midst of pointing fingers towards who’s copying who, Christina is back to show us who really is the “flyest bitch” around in the Pop music stratosphere.
-
Marc Andrews
Perhaps a major disappointment when this album promised so much (great collaborators like Sia, Le Tigre and Peaches), then basically served up the same old thing, which in this post-Gaga world is just not good enough for pop divas anymore.
-
Pop! Bleard
However, a little less ego and a shorter running time would have turned the “Dirrty” girl’s latest effort from a merely good album into a great one.
-
Vertigo Shtick
The whole inevitably gets bogged down in its overstuffed, overbearing overimportance.
-
Entertainment
If only Aguilera herself didn’t seem so lost in Bionic‘s hollow, manic detours.
-
UPROXX
Christina Aguilera’s ‘Bionic’ shows a machine-like workmanship.

Christina is still searching for a new sound and herself, and shouldn’t she have found that out from the previous albums? Disappointed, I am.
