    • Rolling Stone: Wild Mood Swings
    Anthony DeCurtis' review: "Robert Smith continues looking for the perfect love, swooning when he thinks he's found it, collapsing wrecked when (inevitably) he's disappointed." 2 stars

    AMG All Music Guide: Wild Mood Swings
    Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review: "the variety of sounds and strength of performance offers enough surprises to make Wild Mood Swings more than just another Cure record." 3 stars.

    CMJ: Wild Mood Swings
    CMJ review: "Robert Smith hasn't done much to change his patented sound - if anything, the additions have lightened his tone a bit - but with something so distinctive that speaks to so many people, there is no reason to do so, and Wild Mood Swings is a fine example of Smith's vision."

    NME: Wild Mood Swings
    NME review: "Smith's unerring pop sensibility is well to the fore, resulting in a couple of delightfully off-kilter gems.." Rating: 7/10.
