    Kidnapped by Neptune is overly long and ambitious, even if it is a determined step towards something far more interesting.
  2. Drowned In Sound

    If you’re looking for dusty, cavernous melancholia entwined with hard rockin’ and speckled with magic, then consider it found.
  3. Dusted Magazine

    It’s easily Niblett’s most challenging album to date, and also her most accomplished.
  5. Lost At Sea
    80
    Kidnapped by Neptune... finds an exponential increase in her reach while still relying on some of her time-tested tricks; the results are wryly melodic and never ever boring.

    Remarkably compelling to anyone with slightly more outre tastes. [Aug 2005, p.102]

    The highs on Kidnapped are incredibly high, the lows very low, and there's not much in between.
  8. Prefix Magazine
    70
    Explosive, mysterious and refreshingly strange.
  9. Splendid
    80
    Kidnapped By Neptune is one of those rare albums that's both sexy and dirty, and isn't guilty of trying to be either.
  10. Stylus Magazine
    75
    Despite the overbearing length and the sometimes lazy lyrics, Kidnapped by Neptune is a strong release in a year of strong releases.
  11. The Wire
    80
    Niblett takes the old quiet-loud dynamic and stretches it to unexpected lengths. [#258, p.68]

    a very good album, perhaps a little long.
