Critic Reviews
Show All-
FUNKTOPIA
The new album Strut from Lenny Kravitz seems like a culmination of raw rock and funk thrown into a blender.
-
ALL MUSIC
Kravitz deploys all his considerable sonic skills on songs that are purposefully trashy and unapologetically fun and the result is pure pleasure.
-
popMATTERS
Lenny Kravitz returns to form with an excellent new set of songs that make you dance as much as they make you think.
-
NOW
Understandably, he’s lost a little youthful edge: there’s no defiant Mr. Cab Driver, for example. But the songs hold up.
-
Cryptic Rock
There is something to be said for Kravitz’s mix of styles, smooth vocals, and refusal to make bland, generic, contemporary music. His albums are like a bag of pick and mix: full of variety, sweet to taste, and will make listeners remember their childhood with fondness.

Strut clutches equal doses of polish and punch to give Lenny Kravitz that rare mid-career best.
-
BourbonAndVinyl
this LP gets a “must have” vote from BourbonAndVinyl. It’s a fun listen and a great return to form from a an artist I thought was done. His career may have been a little up and down, but whose hasn’t. Lenny and his band have really come together on an album only he could put together – it’s as diverse as the members of his band.

Good times on the dance floor but not a lot more.

it appears Lenny has found his mojo once again with the release of Strut!
-
melodic.net
this is a rock album in which Lenny takes us to the topic desire in many different forms and very outspoken. This is exactly what Lenny had planned when he started writing this album.

RUKUS
There are several great songs on the album and a good mix of dance songs, slow songs and classic rock. Strut confirms Lenny Kravitz is still flying like an eagle and may be around for another 20 years.
-
POP Magazine
it cannot be denied that Lenny Kravitz possesses brilliance, having contributed to the historical musical archives with some unforgettable singles. “Strut”, however, is an inadequate portrayal of his talents. The good news is that the undertones of the old Kravitz are still identifiable and he did say “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over”. So hopefully it’s not over yet.

I’m giving Strut 2 stars. Frankly, it bored me to death.
-
Herald Standard
Charisma has a new name, and it’s called Lenny Kravitz. With the release of his 10th studio album, Kravitz impressively proves that he’s getting better with age.
-
reverb
As a rock album goes, Kravitz delivers a no-nonsense album that is simply easy to listen to and invariably sexy.
-
NOW
Understandably, he's lost a little youthful edge: there's no defiant Mr. Cab Driver, for example. But the songs hold up. Bowie-esque Sex kicks things off with ample cheek. Standout The Chamber is surprisingly new wave.
-
The Heavy Press
it’s one of Kravitz’ better albums, and is certainly worth checking it out for those who like their rock and roll with a funky twist.
-
UBER ROCK
whilst it might not be a disco album ‘Strut’ does have some huge slabs of funk and soul within its grooves.
-
ROCKFREAKS.NET
It is well worth a listen, whatever genre you prefer, not to mention this would be a good one to have if your other half is “not too keen” on your music taste. A great balance if you will and a good listen in general terms.

the worst thing I heard in 2014.
