Rolling Stone (6/20/02, p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...HEATHEN is the sound of Bowie essentially covering himself - to splendid, often moving effect. The album sparkles with hindsight..."

Q (6/02, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...HEATHEN has the beefiest sound of a Bowie record since 1980's...It's great....A return to form. Definitely." Uncut (1/03, p.94) - Ranked #10 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "...A stirring return to form....Bowie kicked it into high gear vocally, lyrically and imaginatively..."

Mojo (Publisher) (7/02, p.108) - "...A fine restatement of classic Bowie elements with contemporary twists...the production is back-toform too..." NME (Magazine) (6/15/02, p.28) - 8 out of 10 - "...It's great. All of it....Bowie is still a zillion times more inventive, brave and rocket-to-Mars brilliant than anyone who's been prodded by the genius stick..."
