Feb 6, 2017Mick Harvey deserves every accolade that will certainly be festooned upon this album for not only showing us Gainsbourg’s brilliance but his own as well.
-
Jan 23, 2017As with any Harvey project, the musicianship is of the highest, yet understated, order.

Jan 23, 2017Like Serge Gainsbourg’s contrarian career as a whole, there are lot of hidden profundities and canny pleasures to decipher and uncover here. This makes Intoxicated Women a dense yet rewarding affair, which should satisfy and intrigue hardcore Mick Harvey fans and Sergeologists alike for some time.

Jan 20, 2017Harvey sends off his final Gainsbourg project with the same spirit he introduced it with: savvy, humor, and an illuminating musical and literary spirit that defies anyone to follow him. Ultimately, it's perhaps the only kind of tribute Gainsbourg could--or would--accept.

UncutNov 9, 2016Following much beauty and polymorphous perversity, the climactic take on Histoire De Melody Nelson's "Cargo Cult" is a fittingly epic finale. [Dec 2016, p.30]

Nov 9, 2016Like Gainsbourg’s music as a whole, there’s too much going on here to do justice to the collection’s many layers.

Feb 15, 2017With Intoxicated Women we don’t get starlets and a known bad boy tussling in the spotlight. We get Harvey and his cast of players dusting off old scripts of prior perversions, delivering them to a world that fancies itself jaded, but is just as confused as ever.

MagnetDec 15, 2016It's jauntier, if still jaundiced, and contains some of Gainsbourg's best compositions. [No. 138, p.57]
