The Guardian

It ends up that most unusual of things, a stadium rock album with a personality of its own.

It's Robbie The Rogue's least immediate album and needs several listens to get to grips with, but Intensive Care feels like Robbie has allowed himself freedom of expression, even if he doesn't always know how best to use it.

PopMatters

Hiccups aside, Intensive Care is the first album in a while on which the whole thing gives the impression that even when he misses, Robbie Williams is at least trying.

Mojo

Here, he is still the anthem addict of old, but there are softer, subtler electronic textures and a real sense of reflection. [Nov 2005, p.112]

Q Magazine

For all its rosy glow of nostalgia, it's essentially just another Robbie Williams album--occasionally spectacular, more frequently merely solid. [Nov 2005, p.116]

Dot Music

An average effort with hints of greatness.

Uncut

The songs often seem over-anxious to build to show-stopping choruses. [Nov 2005, p.94]

New Musical Express (NME)

Despite the air of musical schizophrenia, 'Intensive Care' is OK in a sort of karaoke way. [22 Oct 2005, p.43]

Playlouder

Lyrically the record is less cringe inducing than 'Escapology' but Robbie has been let off the leash for a while in this respect, and while sometimes he can be funny, he needs people to tell him when he's being trite and just downright embarrassing.

Marianne W gave it a10:
I have listened to the album many times now and you find something new every time. The lyrics are fantastic and the melodies just grows. The instrumentations are the best ever of his albums. It shows he has paid much effort in these songs.

Always liked his hits, never bought, recently rec'd "Intensive Care" from a wonderful friend of mine (Thanks, Steffen! XOXO) and LOVE it! Robbie can deliver!

I'm not sure about this album. Although I think Rob's music is classy, I'd like to hear some more experimental stuff. High points are the bridge of 'Please don't die' and the song, 'My gay friend'. I'm sure this album would sound cool after you tax one, though. There is a wounderfully subtle production value.
