    Black Cherry has its moments, and those are generally when the songs are more active. The more toned down and more sonically spaced out tracks simply make the album a little bit boring.

    there are some good songs - tiptoe is my favorite - but her transition to a more electo-influenced sound made her sound kinda faceless.

    Goldfrapp know how to draw you in and, more importantly, hook you.

    A dull compromise of artistic intent and marketability.

    A menacingly sweet and sweetly menacing set of electro pop. [June 2003, p.109]
