    The good news is that the riffs are back. [8 Sep 2012, p.53]

    It doesn't quite hit the consistent heights of Stoosh or Post Orgasmic Chill, but Black Traffic more than justifies Skunk Anansie's re-existence.

    If pulverizing female vocals and pop-rock guitar licks were your thing in 1995, you certainly won't be disappointed now. [Oct 2012, p.96]

    The record does admittedly sound excellent. Urgent and rippling with intensity it has a power that is let down by the lack of simply great songs. Far too many tracks follow an increasingly tired and weary rock formula.

    There are some pretty nice tracks on there, but nothing as strong as the previous peaks.
