Critic Reviews

80
The Telegraph
Despite being more in the headlines these days for personal problems than musical triumphs, Michael’s copious gifts suggest he has all the skills to maintain his career for years to come.

Evening Standard
George Michael is a quality act and this is easy listening of a high order.
60
PopMatters

Symphonica is, on many levels, somewhat unnecessary … Yet Symphonica proves quite compelling.

60
AllMusic
He doesn't push the limits of this template, choosing to enjoy the lush surroundings, so this winds up slightly anti-climactic: Michael is in good form but he's coasting, doing no more than he needs to, satisfying fans without surprising.

Rolling Stone
George Michael crooning "Wild Is the Wind"? With a full orchestra? Now there's a concept.
60
The Guardian
To be fair, he can croon the stuffing out of the most well-worn covers, but it's at the expense of spontaneity.
60
The Observer
Mainly for completists, then, but they'll feel lavishly rewarded.
