"After the relatively standard fare of his first two solo albums, Arrhythmia consists of only four pieces, one of which is a thirty-minute soundtrack to a Claire Denis film incorporating paintings by Staples' partner, Suzanne Osborne ... Arrhythmia will be easily overlooked by many, but cherished by those that take the time to live with, and in, it for a while".

"Stuart A. Staples, frontmand i Tindersticks, giver på Arrhythmia en opvisning i kunstnerisk nødvendighed på et album, der kræver en vis portion tålmodighed af lytteren ... Der er andet og mere på spil end blot endnu en dag på kontoret. Alene titlen på albummet: Arrhythmia. Den uregelmæssige hjerterytme ... Staples vil det her album. Det er et nødvendigt album for den 53-årige Staples".

"When you're a musician known primarily for your deep, nasal croon, it's either a brave or a risky move to release an album that is 50 per cent instrumental ... The second half sees this album fall apart, however, as a 30-minute experimental instrumental inspired by his partner's paintings (and used to soundtrack a film on the same topic) rises and falls in frustrating stop-start increments. Coupled with the album's oddly structured opening triumvirate, it makes for a record that's undoubtedly listenable, but not necessarily enjoyable".

"Stuart Staples er berømt for sin fløjlsbløde verdensmandsstemme, der fra første færd har været med til at definere Tindersticks. Den hører man dog ikke voldsomt meget til på hans tredje soloalbum 'Arrythmia'. Vokalen er tilbagetrukket, og blot fire numre strækkes til en lille time, mens en highhat så blid som blomsterstøv drysser diskrete rytmer over Staples. Et eksperimenterende minimalistisk album, hvor en kort romantisk opblomstring på 'A New Real' modsvares af det 30 minutter lange instrumentalnummer".
