 Alexis Petridis from The Guardian praised the commercial nature of the album and called it " a mature pop album only in that it 's aimed at the boozy girl 's night out rather than the school disco " . Jacqueline Hodges favoured the album 's consistency and complimented its commercial prospect , predicting that the album is " going to sell bucket loads " . Jim Farber from Entertainment Weekly labelled the album " the best guilty @-@ pleasure retro @-@ dance smash since Eiffel 65 's " Blue " " , but felt that Minogue " milks the formula ( of " Can 't Get You Out of My Head " ) dry on the album " . Michael Hubbard from MusicOMH enjoyed the fun nature of the album and said that " if you want something to drive to , dance to , play at a house party or cheer your workmates up with , Fever is for you " . Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine gave the album a negative review , criticizing Minogue 's " painfully precise " vocals and the album 's monotony .
