The songs here pulsate with perversion, a middle-aged man making damn sure that he's going to get with a tight 23-year-old body yet again; it's the sound of a fetishist turned sexual omnivore.
-
It’s his most focused album in over a decade, and ought to absolutely kill onstage.

It’s a success. Whether he keeps on in this vein or branches out even further, this album proves you can, in fact, teach an old letch new tricks.

Under The RadarStripped down to the bone, the tracks here reveal the chinks in Cocker's armor with gloriously broken results. [Summer 2009, p.65]

Brit pop aesthete goes Rawk--sort of.

MojoMuch of it is unreconstructedly rockist. [Jun 20009, p.102]
