So far, critics have released fairly mixed reviews in regards to the highly anticipated new album. Helen Brown, from the Independent, gave the album four out of five stars, and wrote: “[Voyage is] a terrific, family-friendly smorgasbord of a record that delivers all the classic ABBA flavours.” On the other hand, Jude Rogers from the Guardian, gave the new offering from ABBA a much less generous rating of two out of five stars in a review titled “No thank you for the music”. “Rather than reflecting poignantly on the past, much of the rest of Voyage feels terminally stuck there,” she wrote. The Times reviewer Ed Potton had kinder things to say about the album, with a four out of five star rating, writing: “Voyage is a reassuringly familiar blend of clear-eyed sentiment, outrageous musicality and utter indifference to fashion.” Ben Cardew from Pitchfork also had positive things to say, writing: “A second-string ABBA record is far better than most pop groups can muster, and Voyage is the rare post-reformation album to build upon the band’s legacy without abandoning what we loved about their classic records in the first place.” NME reviewer Nick Levine gave Voyage a middle of the road review with a rating of three out of five stars. “There are some bumpy moments along the way, but this ‘Voyage’ is a nostalgia trip worth taking,” he wrote.
