Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
fascinating record in its own right
-
Rolling Stone
on his fourth album, Prince has made his inflammatory and explicit sexuality the basis of an amusingly jive but attractive social agenda
-
Spin
I love this record — its confusion and audacity. It’s rarin’ to go with no destination in mind.
-
All Music
Prince's talents as musician make the record enjoyable, even if it isn't as compelling as most of his catalog
-
Tangled Up In Music
the grooves are just as memorable and plus, a new element is emphasized
-
AXS
not only expanded on the sound of Dirty Mind, but also for the first time, saw the funk rocker tackle more serious issues like sexuality and the Cold War
-
The Guardian
A stopgap delivering little that Dirty Mind hasn’t already given us, but with “Jack U Off”, the iconic title track and the sublime “Do Me Baby” on board, there is joy in repetition.
-
Starling
Ain't no concept, ain't no overall atmosphere. 'S just tremendous fun!
-
Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
Not a dramatic leap forward, but a consistently enjoyable work.
-
Post Punk Monk
it’s the most Prince-like of his early albums with a spicy brew of funk and new wave that sprawled all over the map conceptually while being a tight, concise 38 minutes
-
Clems Music Reviews
this album remains one of his best during this particular phase of his career – arguably his best career phase
