    May well be the best album of her career.

    Yes, the melodies are a little sillier this time around, however the electro-funk grooves are doubly irresistible.

    The results are ludicrously enjoyable, and somewhere Nile Rodgers is smiling. [13 Feb 2004, p.71]

    Body Language isn’t so much a massive artistic leap as it is a total distillation of her sound and style.
  6. Billboard
    80
    The sexy, solid set is glued together by danceable beats and Minogue's knack for picking great songs and producers.
  7. Filter

    Has a slick slutty electroclash vibe. [#9, p.102]

    You can’t help but get lost in Minogue’s music.
  9. New Musical Express (NME)
    70
    This, basically, is an extremely tastefully done, soulful modern r’n’b record.
  10. Rolling Stone
    70
    Kylie Minogue definitely sounds like she has a few more tricks stored on her hard drive than Britney or Christina.

    Derivative, weak, substanceless, and insipid are the words that should really describe this album....I couldn't quite believe the woman Derivative, weak, substanceless, and insipid are the words that should really describe this album....I couldn't quite believe the woman singing such naive unsophisticated lyrics was actually 36 y/o....shocking! it defintely does not deserve such praise as it has got here. Kylie's Grammy win was a joke too, with such a weak album that so obviously was rushed they had to give it to here to get America interested again. Unfortunately this stands as Minogue's worst recording....EVER!… Full Review »

    If you base your review on the lyrical content included in Kylie's work then don't expect much. She and her    A disco pop masterpiece.

    She and her co-writers make POP MUSIC, not "cloud rap".    … Full Review »
