"Eclecticism and unpredictability used to be what made Jackson's work so exciting. But it's gotten so out of control that even the bits that almost work (...) still fail to come across integral threads in a new phase of his style. Instead, they feel like the pieces that stuck to the wall when he threw everything at it. I don't envy whoever has to clean up that mess".

"Glow as a whole is an album as confused as it is diverse, playing chronological Twister with one foot in mid-Noughties LOUD NOISES French house, another in the idiosyncratic IDM of his debut, a hand in contemporary stadium dubstep, with a final limb grasping vainly in the direction of Seventies psychedelia. Like any game of Twister, it is at times fun, at others awkwardly painful and at breaking point finally collapses into a pile of gratuitous groping, which was the whole point anyway".
