"demonstrates diversity in dynamic and content" and that "Sebastian is fully capable of vocally delivering the suitable emotion intended for the lyrics". Of "Light And Shade" Floyd wrote, "The soul in Guy's voice introduces "Light and Shade" with some wicked notes masterfully delivered, rapper Sage the Gemini's contribution keeps the vibe flowing, yet another singer/rapper collaboration that works well for Sebastian". He said "Linger", the collaboration with Lupe Fiasco is "a smooth dose of RnB and soul that leaves you nodding with admiration". Jessica Morris from FDRMX also gave the album four and a half out of five stars, saying Sebastian had "evolved tremendously since his 2003 debut as a fresh-faced boy with an afro, and nothing seems to show this more clearly than his latest album, Madness". She wrote that she had feared that as the singles had been moulded towards radio airplay the album "would lack the sense of joy and poignant emotion he so often embodies". She said she discovered she was wrong because "if Madness shows us anything, it's who Guy Sebastian is as a person and a musician. And while this release will appeal to the commercial market with its catchy rifts, on-point vocals and dubstep, it also features some riveting melodies and stirring lyrics". Morris also wrote that "Madness stands alone as a solid, fun, and moving album. Showing diversity in vocal delivery, song writing, style and theme, this album seems to reflect intentionality to every aspect of its creation and production."
