In terms of consistency, craftsmanship and musical experimentation, Goddess in the Doorway surpasses all his solo work and any Rolling Stones album since Some Girls.
-
His most diverse and musically adventurous solo set to date.
-
An energetic, intelligent and fairly modern rock album - not exactly cutting-edge, but not entirely anachronistic either.
-
Some of it is awful. Some, notably 'Hide Away' and 'Lucky Day' are as good as anything on prime-time Stones album 'Black And Blue', which is saying something.
-
The A.V. ClubDistinguished, eclectic, and difficult to love.... Mostly the songs beg for a rawer treatment, instead of the polite album-rock for which Jagger generally settles.

UncutThe shock is that Goddess In The Doorway is really rather good. [Dec 2001, p.114]
-
MojoThe album takes on an airbrushed blandness that drowns out both the odd outbreak of compositional quality and the promise of adventure offered by the guests. [Dec 2001, p.104]
