"The guitars don't always give off Frehley's trademark flames, and there isn't anything as catchy as his '78 solo smash, "New York Groove" - but Space Invader does have a carefree abandon that Kiss' 21st-century LPs have lacked. It also contains any number of lyrics cringe-worthy enough for his old band ("You're lookin' so tight/I'm gonna make you feel just right," from the lubricious "What Every Girl Wants")".

"Space Invader is Frehley's second studio album since Kiss once again told he and Peter Criss to go get fucked (only a slight paraphrase). From the sound of its dozen tracks, this would appear to have a lot more to do with Frehley just being plum out of ideas than anything else. There's a certain workmanlike promise in the central riffs of "Gimme a Feelin'" and "I Wanna Hold You", but as a total the album is catastrophically undermined by an unforgivable combination of flat-as-a-board production, tuneless, bar-band vocals and some truly execrable lyrics".
