    Marianne Faithfull's singing voice is like an open wound, a raw badge of suffering and self-examination that sounds best when the music gives Faithfull room to bleed. That happens on about half of Kissin Time.

    An album of mostly pleasant contemporary pop. [#218, p.61]

    These songs sound more like her collaborators' than hers. [Mar 2002, p.120]

    It's certainly no Broken English, but still a very good album.
