Put 'Peeping Tom' on the stereo and it's as slickly dark and eminently devourable as Hip-Hop with R&B overtones can be, though whack it on the headphones and you're introduced to something infinitely superior.

Los Angeles TimesIt works equally as a setting for his quieter moments (the tropical "Caipirinha") and for the melodic vocal rages that defined Faith No More's hits. [4 Jun 2006]
-
It's quite possibly Patton's most accessible album since his Faith No More days.

Alternative PressThere's hardly a stinker in the bunch. [Jul 2006, p.206]

UrbThe most palatable Mike Patton project to date. [Jun 2006, p.113]
-
UncutWhile poppier and more accessible than his albums fronting Fantomas, it's worth the wait. [Jul 2006, p.104]

BillboardPatton is either a musical genius or one lucky mad scientist. [3 Jun 2006]
-
Peeping Tom succeeds (and wildly so, I might add) in the songs where Patton allows himself to succumb, if ever so slightly, to his more experimental tendencies.
-
While I would put this work near the bottom among Patton's opus, there are still some definitely enjoyable songs.
-
For all the great ideas and fantastic moments sprinkled throughout Peeping Tom, it turns out that Mike Patton's idea of pop is as uncompromising as his other musical notions. In this case, what's great in theory doesn't work so well in practice.
