"Not that it would be a good career move, but Alison Moyet could probably sing an album of Bulgarian war chants and they would come out sexy and soulful." - People
"On her third post-Yaz release, songstress Alison Moyet puts her bluesy vocal abilities to good use on possibly her most soulful collection yet. She hasn't lost her knack for breezy, adult pop, evident on the lilting, melodic 'Wishing You Were Here' (with Kirsty MacColl lending some assistance on backing vocals) and 'It Won't Be Long,' but tracks like the horn-driven 'Footsteps' and high-energy title song form the core of Hoodoo. With the lyrics squarely focused on relationships, Moyet is often brassy and assertive as on 'Back Where I Belong,' which features a catchy electro-reggae beat and contributions from ex-Fine Young Cannibals Andy Cox and David Steele. She's still more than capable of expressing heart-aching vulnerability, though, especially on the gorgeous 'This House,' where a split-second pause gives way to her passionately imploring, 'Who will take your place?' Other highlights include a pair of gospel-flavored numbers, the jumpy 'Rise' (on which she adds harmonica) and the anthemic closer, 'Find Me.' It all makes Hoodoo another strong offering from the distinctive Moyet." - Tom Demalon, allmusic.com
