While undoubtedly charming in it’s naivety, it also feels slight and transitional, filled with a sense of thin momentary distraction.
-
Think of Sensuous as like walking round a modern art museum: sometimes difficult to fathom, always a perverse thrill.
-
Ultimately, Cornelius has shown that he stands alone when it comes to future pop, and the results are an exceptional pleasure to hear.
-
FilterA headphone masterpiece. [#25, p.94]
-
Sensuous showcases a more playful Cornelius than we’ve seen before.
-
It's often as befuddling as it is brilliant.
-

-
Q MagazineToo often proceedings feel half-baked. [May 2007, p.123]
-
As gleefully weird as anything he's done.
-
SpinOyamada fuses a bristling spectrum of textures and rhythms. [May 2007, p.84]
-
A very fun listen.
-
It’s a little disjointed, more enigmatic, and more confounding than its predecessors: a gentle, mysterious giant of an album that could only have been created by a father.
-
Cornelius has too many ideas, not just for an album but often for one song.
-
UncutNo doubt Oyamada has a fine ear for sound design, but he handles his tunes with antiseptic gloves. [May 2007, p.88]
-
Under The RadarIt's no Point, and you might not want to make it your booty music, but Sensuous is a glittering gem with only a few imperfections. [#17, p.83]
-
UrbSensuous goes so far beyond the borders of radio-friendly melody that it's hard to recognize the Cornelius of bygone days. [May 2007, p.93]
