  1. There are also plenty of moments that aren't groundbreaking, but still show that Merill Nisker has a lot to say about sex, music, and pop culture nearly a decade after Teaches of Peaches was released.
  2. Whatever their inspiration, new cuts like the oddly pretty 'Lose You' and 'Billionaire,' the latter of which features a fiery cameo from Shunda K of Yo Majesty, throb with unexpected vitality.
  3. At times the minimalist compositions expose her limited range, but no one should be listening to Peaches for the pitch-defying melismas.

    Fabulous. [Jun 2009, p.98]
  5. As the vocals get filthier, the beats get glitchier and it still consistently exudes class.
  6. The notoriously hardcore sexual aggressor has swapped strap-ons for sentiment and turned all flaccid in the process, and guess what: it’s quite...nice.
  7. This is easily the most danceable record she’s produced. Surprisingly, the weakest tracks are those that sound most like the electro-rap we’ve come to expect from her; fortunately, they’re in the minority this time out.
  8. Ultimately, even when she veers into previously unexplored aesthetic territory, every track feels just like Peaches, which is rather remarkable given how rigid and predictable she had been in the recent past.
  9. I Feel Cream is a fun and worthwhile album, though is unlikely to change any minds about Peaches. Fortunately, that also means she shows no signs of losing her touch.
  10. I Feel Cream is a force of positive motion that addresses criticism with the sonic equivalent of a bitch slap.
  11. Okay, maybe age has softened Peaches a tad, but if I Feel Cream is the result, it sounds more compelling and radical than any number of new iterations of "sucking on my titties."

    Like most extreme acts, this trash-talking MC's strengths are best showcased in wham-bam singles. To sustain interest between fourth-album climaxes, the Berlin-based sleaze queen collaborates with London's Simian Mobile Disco.
  13. I Feel Cream feels subdued and safe, a less-than-inspiring move for an artist who made her name by being neither.
  14. Ever the self-conscious transgressor, Peaches presents herself as both exceptional and mutable.

    High art, low humour and deluxe filth: a hugely seductive combination. [Jun 2009, p.95]
  16. Under The Radar

    I Feel Cream is Peaches' most pop-leaning album to date, though it doesn't comprise. [Spring 2009, p.67]

    I Feel Cream is pretty good but at the end of the day, it is a transitional album.
