Wounded Rhymes
Encyclopedia
Wounded Rhymes was lauded by music critics. At Metacritic
, which assigns a normalised
rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average
score of 83, based on 32 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim". Lou Thomas from BBC Music
referred to it as "another outstanding album, slightly better and definitely bigger than Youth Novels
. Although there is a level of subtlety at work here far more sophisticated than most mainstream releases, the sound's sheer size is almost overwhelming." Corey Beasley from PopMatters
described it as "a dark record, borne of lost love and youthful frustrations, more suited in tone to the frozen lake country than the haze of sunny SoCal
. It means this is a seriously heavy and seriously excellent album." He also pointed out that "Li sounds remarkably confident on every last track, and Yttling's wall-of-sound tendencies nicely underscore her swagger." K. Ross Hoffman of Allmusic wrote that the singer "hasn't entirely let go of her girlish sweetness, and she certainly hasn't lost her way with a melodic hook, but she's largely outgrown the more cloyingly precious, occasionally clumsy tendencies that sometimes plagued her debut, and her singing voice, while still appealingly personable and distinctive, has gotten considerably more forceful", while praising the album as "an inspired, rugged, smart, emotive, coolly modern piece of indie pop, and an improvement on Lykke Li's debut in just about every respect." Rolling Stone
critic Jody Rosen
called it "a weird-pop gem" containing "torchy love songs that nod to Sixties hits but are stretched into all kinds of shapes. Li dips into garage rock
and wintry folk
, but her guiding spirit seems to be Phil Spector
, and she laces the music with booming percussion and girl-group
-style romantic melodrama." The Observer
s Hermione Hoby viewed it as "a formidable collection of all-woman 21st-century torch song
s that reverberate with vengeance and desolation. The arrangements are still stark and driven by syncopated handclaps and off-kilter drums, but now, voice creaking with heartache, she sounds like she's casting dark spells rather than serenading daydreams." Kevin Liedel of Slant Magazine
believed that the album "is not so much a stylistic departure as it is a stark transformation of mood: Though still an expert dabbler in gravelly electro-pop, Li sounds positively dangerous now, her voice tormented, biting, and weapon-like, and her accompaniments following suit." He added that "[t]here is a mournful sensuality to Li's near-broken voice that contributes to the album's most triumphant moments, as her every word drips simultaneously with sex and tragedy."
In a review for Spin
, Sean Fennessey stated that the album "is equal parts seething ice princess and lonely snowwoman, vacillating almost track by track between fury and despondence over a scotched relationship" and that "[t]he dual objectives—weep for me, fear me—collide throughout, creating a dicey, but gripping album." Stephen M. Deusner of Pitchfork Media
awarded the album with Best New Music and described it as "an album of stark, scintillating contrasts: between fantasy and reality, between the powerful and the vulnerable, between the brash and the quiet, between the rhythmic and the melodic." Caitlin Meyer of Consequence of Sound
wrote, "In a true demonstration of growth and progression as an artist, [...] Wounded Rhymes is a soulful, intricate album that showcases a more vocally confident and mature Li amidst a score of equally powerful and impressive instrumentation." Amanda Petrusich from Entertainment Weekly
commented that "[w]hile her 2008 breakout, Youth Novels, was quirky and coy, Wounded Rhymes is hungry, dark, dirty." The Guardian
s Michael Cragg opined that "sadness tends to suit her, with producer Björn Yttling [...] encasing the songs in a heady mix of primal drums, tinpot percussion, scratchy guitars and, on the excellent 'Love Out of Lust', a desolate whistle solo." Jazz Monroe, writing for NME
, concluded that "for all its wailing codas, swollen strings and silky production, Wounded Rhymes, while a bold statement, doesn't quite strike the same lugubrious groove. But while we bemoan flash-in-the-pan pop stars, it's encouraging to see someone like Lykke sparking attention." John Freeman from Clash
called it "brilliant" and stated that "[w]hile opener 'Youth Knows No Pain' and the feisty single 'Get Some' both display Li's 'don't-fuck-with-me' sassiness, Wounded Rhymes really takes off when she allows her vulnerability to leak." Amy Dawson from Metro deemed it "big, beautiful and badass, often all at the same time". Paste
s Ryan Reed noted that "Li's voice is basically a mixture of every great female art-pop artist you've heard: there's a bit of Kate Bush
's alien whine, a pinch of Bat for Lashes
smoke-screen atmospherics, even a hint of fellow Swedish pop sensation Robyn
's sassy croon." August Brown from the Los Angeles Times
felt that the album is "full of charged contradictions. She's a mediocre singer with a very interesting voice, a fan of classic handmade pop and the ways laptops can serrate it, and a writer obsessed with sex and with sexing up obsession.
