    Confessions... is vocally sharp and (at times) lyrically breathtaking, but it is difficult to imagine this album working without Price's involvement.

    Sweaty, head-spinningly good dance music.

    Swirling, throbbing and altogether great. [19 Nov 2005]

    Disco with a vengeance, a whomping, unapologetically airheaded engine of stroboscopic beats and succulent textures that exhumes dance music's time-honored values of celebration and affirmation. [13 Nov 2005]

    The first half, in particular, has irresistible momentum... The second half drags a little, and you wish Madonna would strip the synths back to work a bass line every now and then.
  6. AllMusic

    While she succeeds rather handsomely on those modest terms, it's more than a little odd to hear Madonna scaling back her ambition and settling for less rather than hungering for more.
  7. Blender

    [It] sounds as if she's happy to give the people what they want: escapism and nostalgia. [Dec 2005, p.152]
