His dance-pop tunes are surprisingly fresh and emotionally meaty, without a hint of complacency.
-
For most of System, the indefatigable drum thumps and whizzing keyboard tones prevent Seal from getting too vaporous, while all his yearning comes through.
-
The 10 songs are all strong, and placed in an order that creates an emotional arc, like a real--what's that word again?--album.

Entertainment WeeklyEven when System's rigid tempos grow tedious, its words still move you. [16 Nov 2007, p.78]
-
System goes down smooth, even if it's rather strange that it is so nostalgic for the pre-Clinton '90s, but this is so much a production piece that, apart from the acoustic 'Rolling,' the only song that stands outside of the sheer sonic gloss is 'Wedding Day,' a genuinely odd piece of kitsch duet with Heidi herself.
-
People who like him, rejoice. Those who don't may continue to live without his music.

UncutSystem is like travelling backwards to a time when Trevor Horn and Steve Lipson ruled the earth, except this time the studio overlord is Madonna collaborator, Stuart Price. [Jan 2008, p.100]
