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

    This is one of the most rambunctiously entertaining and high-spirited records of 2006. [Dec 2006, p.108]
  3. An eclectic, danceable collection of hip-hop, R&B, and pop confections.
  4. Exactly as gratingly infectious as you might expect.
  5. Los Angeles Times

    The problem is the Duchess herself. Fergie exudes earthy charm, but can't keep up with the breakneck music. She forces emotion on the slower show-stoppers, and she's all cartoon kitten on the come-ons. [17 Sep 2006]
  6. The album too often seems to be striving to display diversity at the expense of artistry.
  7. Fergie prances, preens, moans, talks and raps, but the result is canned and sterile.

    The mixed reviews show how controversial Fergie's music and image are, which is part of its appeal. Exceptionally unique album.

    Not as embarrassing as the song "My Humps," but she's just gone Christina Aguilera-lite.
