Bjrk delivers a performance as visually spectacular as it is musically innovative. Fifteen years into her solo career, Bjrk remains the least compromising and most fantastical pop superstar talent. - The Guardian
No other songwriter can sound so nave and so instinctual while building such elaborate structures. And few musicians have managed to sustain her unlikely combination of avant-gardism and pop visibility. - Jon Pareles, The New York Times
