UncutHis most purposeful work in some time. [Jun 2003, p.94]
-
This record is packed with deceptively simple melodies -- often aping established pop forms and the singer’s usual array of influences -- that are nearly irresistible because of the detail that Momus and Talaga infuse into each of his songs.

Q MagazineAs unique as ever. [Jun 2003, p.102]
-
MojoThe wit and intelligence rarely lets up. [May 2003, p.95]
-
Oskar Tennis Champion would surely please most Momus fans, though it does not match up to his best albums.
-
A chuga-chuga sort of electro-muddle, all pops and whistles and bon mots -- and no heart.
-
Awful as it might be, Oskar is not easy to dismiss because awfulness has always been a part of Momus' gambit.
