  1. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Turbo-charged funk rock so urgent and fluid (think Parliament fronted by Jimi Hendrix) is something we haven’t heard from Prince for some time

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    The sound of him working with a lean combo is so refreshing. Print edition only

  3. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    A commendable album and the two acts clearly work together incredibly well and challenge one another

  4. 7.0 |   The Music

    Prince and the ladies bounce off each other and cut loose to give us wildly fierce improvisational jams that rock hard
    Read Review

  5. 6.0 |   Beardfood

    Bringing a fresh, brash sound to Prince's illustrious career

  6. 6.0 |   The FT

    Several of the Paisley Park jams have congealed into filler and the production is too tidy

  7. 6.0 |   All Music

    If the songs on PlectrumElectrum don't stick the way those on Art Official Age do, it's nevertheless a quiet thrill to hear Prince spar with worthy partners, as he does throughout this record

  8. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Though there are no songs here to touch past glories, their excitement in the studio is captured. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    The issue with PlectrumElectrum is the variable quality of the songwriting on offer
    Read Review

  10. 5.8 |   Consequence Of Sound

    PlectrumElectrum‘s longer rock jams give the album its true shape, and 3rdEyeGirl certainly help in this regard
    Read Review

  11. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Makes for a mighty fine six-string workout, its high points proving to be some of the most fun Prince moments he has given us in nearly 20 years
