Critiques / Reviews :

  • "Christmas time is greatest hits time in the music biz, thus this new package of popular tracks by stylist Robert Palmer. While he's not on the same sales level as Bon Jovi or Phil Collins, millions do find Palmer's slick, funky rock simply irresistible. Not to mention his videos with the sexy clone-women playing guitar in tight mini-skirts. 'Addictions Volume I' compiles Palmer's 1980s hits, including of course 'Simply Irresistible', 'Addicted To Love' and the mega-seller 'Some Like It Hot'. Palmer's popularity is partly due to his hit songwriting, partly due to his infectious way with a melody, and partly due to his handsome, sophisticated persona. The combination equals easy stardom for this cool British singer." Rating : B (The Record Journal)
  • "It's got 'Addicted To Love', 'Some Like It Hot', 'Simply Irresistible' and the infectious 'Johnny And Mary'. The other cuts are of uneven quality. The important thing here is that Palmer's a fine vocalist, no matter what the critics have said about his brand of blue-eyed soul over the years. And he's one of the most successful pioneers in the fusion of heavy-metal and funk." (The New Straits Times)
  • "Robert Palmer evokes a grudging respect. Despite his fashionable posing and manner, he has gone in unfashionable directions simply because of his interest in music other than Western rock's 4/4 time. This fascination comes through in this, the first of a two-album series of personal favorites. Alongside the driving rock of 'Doctor, Doctor' and 'Addicted To Love' are experiments in ethnic rhythms overlaying more straight-forward rhythms. However, going in other directions doesn't in itself make for better music. It can all be rather ho-hum whatever time it's played in, and Palmer proves this point rather well." (The Age)
