    It's highly clinical, and Allison is as remote as ever. [#11, p.124]
  2. Uncut

    Her best record yet. [Jun 2002, p.107]
  3. 70
    We Are Science is strikingly gorgeous and powerful. It's also just a little bit cheesy (but in a good way), as though you were watching Patsy Kensit star in Breaking The Waves.
  4. After the limp meandering of Afterglow, We Are Science is unquestionably a leap in the right direction.
  5. We Are Science is striking, very bold, and very sexy.
  6. Resonance
    80
    Her breakthrough record. [#36, p.53]
  7. Mojo
    70
    Not a record for those prone to depression, but a varied, substantial and intriguing one. [June 2002, p.112]
  8. We Are Science sees Dot Allison going beyond even the highs of One Dove and crafting an accessible, evocative masterpiece that consistently surprises and thrills.
  9. Q Magazine
    60
    A startling fusion of ethereal singing with churning, computer-generated beats and ambience. [June 2002, p.110]
  10. Magnet
    40
    She's a ghost in the machine; unfortunately, the machine is an Atari 2600. [#57, p.80]
  11. Urb
    70
    A churning, droning, sickly sweet nouveau-electro trip. [Nov 2002, p.94]
  12. 'We Are Science' has a spooky cinematic scope with a dubbed-up, electronic gospel feel for our times.
  13. When these songs keep the pretense to a minimum, her melancholy mood can be affecting. But much of the rest is dreadfully muddy, lacking in both substance and texture.
  14. Mixer
    50
    A hit-and-miss release. [Nov 2002, p.80]
