  1. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    He may be an acquired taste but as Milwaukee at Last!!! proudly displays, Rufus Wainwright is one of pop music’s most rewarding and indelible voices for those who give him the time and chance to let his charms enchant you

  2. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    At times Milwaukee at Last!!! sounds like a retrospective of Wainwright's 2000s, beginnin - sadly - not with 2000's career-high Poses but with the Want albums, which introduced a more operatic, more staged approach.

  3. 7.0 |   NME

    ...what stands out is his Randy Newman-like quality of mixing lyrical economy with an ear for an ever-so-sombre, opulent melody

    Print edition only

  5. 5.0 |   The Quietus

    The real thrill is in seeing the man live and not picking up Milwaukee's seconds

  6. 4.0 |   musicOMH

    Overall, there's nothing much here for even Wainwright obsessives to get excited about. Buy it as a companion for the far superior DVD, or if you're desperate for a souvenir of the Release The Stars tour. Otherwise, this is strictly for completists only

Loyle Carner  hopefully!

The sounds are slightly different here than on previous albums and his tentative sojourn into singing is a success because his voice connects as easily as his rapping does Albumism

Lorde  Virgin

Lorde trades in her secrecy and mystique for a tremendously healing, desperately relatable record that cements her mark as her generation’s defining artist Northern Transmissions

Lorde  Virgin

On the uncomfortable paths of the 28-year-old’s fourth album, slam-dunk bangers are substituted with reinvention and restraint surrendered through hushed, reflective, and carnal synth-pop vestiges Paste Magazine
