AMG All Music Guide: Pornography
- Chris Woodstra's review: "Pornography isn't their most interesting album - much of it suffers from same-sounding monotony - but it did manage to crack the UK. Top Ten and was undoubtedly influential in the emerging goth-rock movement." 3 stars

Rolling Stone: Pornography
- J.D. Considine's review: "Backed by music that relies less on melody than thick slabs of heavily treated sound, Pornography comes off as the aural equivalent of a bad toothache." 2 stars.
