Review
Max Scharnigg heard the album for the Süddeutsche Zeitung and ruled: " Musically, it's the best blend for Superstars with Aufrichtigkeitshintergrund, the only EU-wide (in the U.S. Robbie has never worked ) must be used: A little Scandinavian Beat tinkering for the hip paint, a few lucky hand in the selection of Zuarbeiter, for example, Owen Pallett, who became known as the violinist for Arcade Fire. To this end, much of that Stadionbritpop, is not complete without the guitar, chorus and a bit of blur. No one will discover with this eighth album Robbie Williams for themselves, for all were the rudimentary fans, but it's the long-awaited gala dinner, sorely needed after the years with narrow diet He has again the hymns that need his people so desperately need. "
Inga Radel wrote on stern.de: " A first CD - half, which sounds like a child's head and too young at heart comes along - and a second, more mature seems, in fact, and also may surprise you - for example, to the grounded country duet" Losers " with the U.S. singer Lissie. Overall, Robbie premiere work is the giant Universal a potpourri of potential hit songs, the only way longs for commercial success during the festive season. "
