    Though not every track is a gem, The Dutchess reaches further than most albums by contemporary divas.
  2. Prefix Magazine

    Fergie is talented enough to compete with the likes of Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera, but the material on The Dutchess won't take her to those heights.
  3. PopMatters
    20
    Fergie prances, preens, moans, talks and raps, but the result is canned and sterile.

    Feels like she's trying to make a pop hit and trying to hard to be cool. She is very sexy, and does have talent. However, even that is not enough to save her lack of charisma, which feels forced. Sounds like this album is geared for ages 12-16, any half witted adult will likely cringe otherwise.… Expand
