    Though not every track is a gem, The Dutchess reaches further than most albums by contemporary divas.

    This is one of the most rambunctiously entertaining and high-spirited records of 2006. [Dec 2006, p.108]

    An eclectic, danceable collection of hip-hop, R&B, and pop confections.
  5. Dot Music
    70
    Where the likes of [Gwen] Stefani and co manage to tie eclectic albums together with the strength of their personality, Fergie never actually comes close to showing what she really sounds like, leaving "The Dutchess" as an exceptionally random R&B mixtape.
  6. Rolling Stone
    70
    A shameless solo debut full of Eighties-style electro bangers.
