  1. Confessions... is vocally sharp and (at times) lyrically breathtaking, but it is difficult to imagine this album working without Price's involvement.
  2. 80
    Such a heady, high-octane swirl that, perversely enough, you often forget you're listening to a Madonna record. [Dec 2005, p.102]
  3. 80
    As each track segues into the next, this is a breathless listen, but the overall scheme works. [Dec 2005, p.99]
  4. 60
    [It] sounds as if she's happy to give the people what they want: escapism and nostalgia. [Dec 2005, p.152]

    I must say that I never really paid attention to Madonna until this album. I became a fan when i heard Confessions on a Dance floor. It's great for parties and for just a person dancing in the room. For me, it's the best Madonna album to date. Expand
  2. One of the best albums of 2005. Madonna brought dance music to the forefront of Pop music here, and she did an amazing job with it. Confessions has turned out to be her best effort of recent years. Excellent! Expand

    Madonna's an artist I've discovered in the recent years. I'd heard her in Snatch's soundtrack. Also saw her older hits on TV every now and then. I found she had a very lively spirit. I don't like her much nowadays, because she acts way too much like she's meant to be treated like a royalty. True reflexion of what celebrity does to you. Except yeah, the album's solid! I found a good bunch of songs actually good to listen to, for an artist such as Madonna. Letdowns were the Americanisation song such as New York. As smart as Madonna claims to be, that song just reeked idiocy. Overall, the songs have really good melodies and Madonna shows political tolerance by using many different styles of harmonies in her songs. I think Mirwais probably helped her out on this CD, but Mirwais is a good artist anyways, so props. Buy it, it's worth it. Especially if you like to dance. Expand

    There are only a few good things on this album, and it's nothing she or anyone else hasn't done before. Formulaic, but sometimes fun in spite of it. This should be the last we hear from this woman, ever. Please! Expand
