  1. Awful as it might be, Oskar is not easy to dismiss because awfulness has always been a part of Momus' gambit.
  2. Oskar Tennis Champion would surely please most Momus fans, though it does not match up to his best albums.
  3. This record is packed with deceptively simple melodies -- often aping established pop forms and the singer’s usual array of influences -- that are nearly irresistible because of the detail that Momus and Talaga infuse into each of his songs.
  4. Uncut

    His most purposeful work in some time. [Jun 2003, p.94]
  5. Mojo
    70
    The wit and intelligence rarely lets up. [May 2003, p.95]
  6. Q Magazine
    70
    As unique as ever. [Jun 2003, p.102]
  7. A chuga-chuga sort of electro-muddle, all pops and whistles and bon mots -- and no heart.
