As is the case across their entire discography, with each subsequent listen to Milk & Kisses, previously overlooked nuances and delights emerge, making for an eternally revelatory and soul-affirming listening experience overall.

All Music
Necessary for Cocteau Twins diehards and potentially interesting to those that have never heard the band before, Milk & Kisses says nothing, but says it beautifully.

Vandala Magazine
Milk and Kisses acted as a beautiful conclusion to 18 years of soft spoken ingenuity.

Derek's Music Blog
This you want to be their Ulysses moment. They don’t disappoint.

Rad Cyberzine
This Cocteau album is magnificently gorgeous.
-
Clash Music
Their final record was a slightly surprising veer back towards the heavily layered guitars and shrouded lyrics that constituted their mid-’80s material, although the album has a slightly wayward feel overall that hints at a band that was approaching its final days.

Only Solitaire
Better in melody terms, but still not exactly "back on track". Good, but flawed.

People
(1996) On their ninth full-length CD, the British trio tighten up their spacious arrangements and adopt conventional song structure, all the while continuing to embrace the airy bliss that so enchants their fervent followers.

Beautiful meandering, oh boy.

The Student Playlist
Milk & Kisses is the sound of a band doing nothing groundbreaking, but doing it beautifully.

Eric Roosendaal
Milk & Kisses was to be their last album. In retrospect the absence of a single musical direction may well have been foreboding the end of their cooperation.

There are some classic songs on there but also a few fillers. On the whole though, a good album.

Evident Cocteau Twins no longer had the spark.
