Editorial Reviews Included in Q Magazine's 90 Best Albums Of The 1990s. Q (12/01/1999)
3.5 Stars out of 5 - ...for all the disturbing images, VAUXHALL is incredibly accessible pop...straightforward music fit to convey the complex dynamics of depression.... Rolling Stone (04/07/1994)
...a collection of competent, appealing pop tunes... Option (08/01/1994)
...A fantasy date with Britain's most ironic and monkish pop star... - Rating: A- Entertainment Weekly (03/25/1994)
...Delicate acoustic textures weave through haunting drones and synthesized strings...Although the draggy tempos and lush settings make VAUXHALL sound unbecomingly mellow on the surface, Morrissey does his best to get on your nerves... Spin (03/01/1994)
...Don't laugh, but Morrissey is still in a funk...Morrissey comes across most effectively when he quits trying to be clever and speaks plainly...Here you get the singular Morrissey experience, those weirdly disarming ruminations by someone who seems to be both guileless and yet in a permanent snit... Musician (04/01/1994)
