  1. 8.0 |   The Independent

    Endlessly does exactly what is required by ratcheting up Duffy's sophistication without sacrificing the immediacy of "Mercy"
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    This is sharp, commercially astute pop music
    Read Review

  3. 7.0 |   Spin

    Duffy sounds happier and happier the further behind she leaves that over-sprayed beehive 'do
    Read Review

  4. 6.0 |   Q

    It lacks variety and flexibility. Print edition only

  5. 6.0 |   BBC

    Though not without its charms, Endlessly is too slight and uneven to impress unconditionally
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    There is a huge amount of talent here but, overall, it needs better direction, a little more discipline and a songwriter of more than average genius

  7. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    A nice garnish for mum's stocking, if nothing else
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Instead of diving deeper into the soul, she seems to be paddling around in the pop shallows
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    The attempts to break with the artist's trademark sound are tentative, and the result is a record that hedges its bets to only limited success
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Her phlegmy voice to songs about social issues and even having a crack at disco, although there are others here that do retain Rockferry's vintage charm
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Endlessly's classicism is more strait-laced and – too often – hackneyed
    Read Review

  12. 5.0 |   NME

    That cat-in-a-swing-coat yowl will still be a divider for many
    Read Review

  13. 5.0 |   FasterLouder

    Endlessly is just an album that is a little off in key places, which causes it to drag on
    Read Review

  14. 5.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Saggy stylistic gestures that seem to drag on, endlessly
    Read Review

  15. 4.2 |   A.V. Club

    Duffy is clearly striving for growth with Endlessly, but outside her comfort zone, she comes up short
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   Eye Weekly

    Production so flawless that the album is devoid of personality
    Read Review

  17. 4.0 |   State

    Just another throwaway, middle of the road, cardboard-cutout pop star. What a waste
    Read Review

  18. 4.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    Although Duffy’s voice ticks lots of boxes, there’s a big blank space where her soul should be
    Read Review

  19. 4.0 |   Mojo

    One wonders why a writer and producer of Hammond's calibre didn't exert more quality control. Print edition only

  20. 4.0 |   Rave Magazine

    While the mood remains nostalgic, this time around the hangover isn’t so pleasant
