Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
Rokstarr is ultimately a collection of decent, but generic, Eurodisco tracks without a star — “rok” or otherwise — to hold a listener’s interest.
-
NME
He thinks he's a bad boy, but he's more suited to soppiness.
-
The Guardian
Cruz's tunes are big and bumptious; the Tinchy Stryder collaboration, Take Me Back, especially so.
-
Billboard
Taio Cruz croons about the highs and lows of love over a wide variety of electronic-influenced beats.
-
Contact Music
Rokstarr is a very good pop album. It is edgy in a pop sense and has a serious amount of sophistication for a young producer and songwriter.
-
NZ Herald
I would have loved to hear an album with songs that have the same enthusiasm and energy as the first three
-
Entertainment Weekly
The tracks are forgettable and include a cut for throwing hands in the air (”Dynamite”) and one awkwardly placed effort to uplift.
-
Spin or Bin
ance, pop and a soulful voice have come together here in a persuasively convincing way.
-
BBC
This collection sounds like tomorrow’s hits, today.
-
Digital Spy
it feels more like a pair of EPs shoved together than a cohesive collection of music.
-
The Beat Review
Taio’s talent evolved and improved with his second offering but yet he still has to push more because we all know his capability of doing more than he could actually do.
-
Truth About Music
Despite the kicking single and a few other highlights, Cruz failed to do what Drake and Derulo did in their debut albums.
-
Financial Times
[Departure] is full of slick beats and catchy hooks, with the 26-year-old employing the same style of smoothly charming vocals.
-
Renowed For Sound
A fantastic collection of dance heavy club fillers and moving ballads with memorable and high quality laden hooks and well written lyrics.
