Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got is less about O’Connor’s ambitions than the cost of those ambitions, and in almost every regard, it is an even better record than her first.
-
Pitchfork
Early O'Connor can now seem a model for a certain kind of feminine intensity in rock music, one that moves effortlessly between ethereality and fire-spitting.
-
All Music
Evidence that, when on top of her game, O'Connor was a singular talent.
-
Slant Magazine
I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got found Sinéad O’Connor bruised but determined, disappointed yet hopeful.

Diffuser.fm
I Do Not Want... wasn't so much a collection of ten songs as an open wound spinning at 33 1/3. That was its magic.

Music OMH
A classic album that still sounds vital today.

I admire a strong woman . . . and it doesn’t hurt if she also happens to own one of the most beautiful and expressive voices to ever give life to song.

Chicago Reader
O'Connor may not sound as angry as the Dead Kennedys, but standing up to fascism requires more than just fury.
-
A.V. Club
With I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, O’Connor both assured her immortality and made damn sure she’d never be mistaken for a mere pop star ever again.

Albumism
I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got remains a compelling document of a true talent that paved the way toward introspection for other artists to follow.
-
Treble Zine
I Don’t Want What I Haven’t Got is the album where Sinéad found her voice. It was not only hers but the voice of a generation who searched for love, honesty and devotion in an uncompromising nature that only Sinéad O’Connor could bring to life.

It was the first time in many years that I was able to truly love something from Top 40 radio.

Pop Rescue
A beautiful album, that at times feels awkwardly personal to listen to.. yet so compelling to do so.

It's amazing how a hit single can get critics write good things about you even if you don't deserve it.
