Entertainment Weekly

The sadder Pink gets, the better the big, rocky roar that characterizes much of the disc sounds.

Boston Globe

Pink continues to make everything she touches her own. She uses brains and brawn to turn the mainstream into a complicated place.

Spin

Whether struggling with sobriety or confronting her own meanness, Pink has never been less cool: She's hot-blooded throughout, and it suits both her pipes and a female pop genre that rarely embraces this much tangible pain.

Village Voice

Ms. Alecia Moore turns tragedy into a huge artistic coup once again on the only somewhat inaccurately named Funhouse.

Billboard

On her confident fifth album, the multiplatinum hitmaker attacks her recent divorce in all styles.

The Phoenix

Give Pink three spins and half a chance and by track five's killer New Order riff, you'll be singing 'Please, Don't Leave Me' back at her.

Dot Music

Perhaps Funhouse is a victim of its own excess: it may be inevitable that an album of 14 songs with more than a dozen credited writers will end up as hit and miss, as messy as this.

All Music Guide

Funhouse is a ride, empowered by her post-divorce freedom. In a way, that does make Funhouse unique among divorce albums, as it's the first to concentrate on liberation rather than loss--but if she was going to go in this direction, Pink may have been better off not pretending that she's bothered by the breakup.

Hartford Courant

Anything that reduces Pink's in-your-face presence, and that includes a preponderance of slowed-down, tarted-up examinations of divorce, is probably an ill-advised move.

Vibe

Funhouse is more haunting than amusing, but the solidarity that comes along with her recent divorce serves as the effort's muse and proves to be her best partner in life.

Slant Magazine

If the album doesn't always make that point in its words, it consistently makes that point by being as fun a pop record as Pink's albums tend to be.

Blender

The bigger the gamble, the stronger she feels. By the end of the record, she’s lassoing the moon, getting through her loneliness the way she got past teen pop: by sheer force of will.

Observer Music Monthly

Her new album lays into her ex-husband with devilish choruses and potent hooks.

Rolling Stone

Funhouse would be more fun if Pink went easier on the bad-love songs.

The Guardian

Frustratingly, the sound and the fury is followed by a string of damp ballads charting her split from her husband, but Funhouse is a solid album nevertheless.

NOW Magazine

The otherwise likeably raunchy and bratty Pink is now officially walking a fine line, leaning dangerously close to the humdrum.

PopMatters

In the end, Funhouse bites off more than it can chew, but it never chokes on its ambitions: it shows Pink as one who is unsure of her post-marital identity, hopping around from emotion to emotion without ever settling onto a state of stability until the album’s well-timed closing moments.

Angst is very well in small doses, but over an entire album it can start to grate.

The New York Times

Even though Pink oozes disappointment in herself and others, her music mostly fails to keep up.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Pink can reach unusually stirring heights when in the right register. That register, on Funhouse, is something close to despondence with a lot of tiredness thrown in--just enough to make Pink forego her instinct for winking and simply sound pained instead.

The best album of P!nk's career. The slow songs don't hold back the upbeat party tracks even for one second, and her voice delivers more emotion than ever before. I had so much fun listening to this. Best tracks: So What, Funhouse, Please Don't Leave Me, and Sober.

Jay Jay gave it a9:
Not a die hard fan by any means, but this album has some great singles. The slow serious songs may not match Morrissey levels, but the pop anthems are above anything "serious" songwriters could envision. P!nk just has "it." I can't help but root for her.

Phoebe H. gave it a10:
This is the best album around at the moment! Her songs are catchy, deep, dark and absouloutley awsome! she hasnt just got an amoazing voice and looks, she is also an amzaing song writer herself!

Jamie I gave it a10:
All I can say is AMAZING! This is my first Pink CD and she is one talented woman.

Delspencerdeltorro gave it a7:
It's a really solid pop/rock album. It has songs that are slow and serious, and songs that are fast and fun, and there are excellent tracks in both categories. More fun would be appreciated, but fortunately, the slow songs don't weigh it down too much.

Mike R. gave it a10:
A perfectly balanced album with a song (or more) for everyone. Pink has outdone herself, once again! I love this CD.
