David V pointed us to this review of American Doll Posse from the Orange County Register, whose writer gives the album an “A”:
Retrolowfi offers its take on American Doll Posse in this lengthy, detailed review:
Armen wrote in to let us know that Billboard has chimed in on the M.I.L.F. issue in this quickie review of “Big Wheel”:
Yes, it might have sold more if she’d cut back, but don’t let the length put you off. Amos still has the ability to inspire and move, and just like Bjork, who releases Volta next week, she remains one of the most distinctive female artists in music today.
Djimi sent us this review of American Doll Posse from Megastar:
Although she claims the eclecticism that drives this album is an exploration of the female psyche’s different facets, I would argue that the diversity on display is Amos covering all bases so as not to receive the critical lashing she received from fans two years ago. I don’t really care which motivation is true when it has resulted in what is definitely her best ‘pop’ album in at least five years.
Luke sent us this lengthy review of ADP from the CD Times:
“American Doll Posse” isn’t quite the fans-only project it might first seem to be. Although the album’s conceit might seem heavy-handed, Ms. Amos treats the whole thing like a game: this is her most entertaining album in years, precisely because she keeps switching among characters and styles.
Phillip tipped us off to this favorable review of American Doll Posse from the New York Times:
Thanks to James, we know that American Doll Posse was reviewed in the UK Observer Sunday:
With her daughter nearly grown, war and femininity replace fairy stories and songs about orange knickers on Amos’s ninth studio album. The obligatory concept endures. This time, the music is channelled through five female characters representing different aspects of her personality and, with an eclectic 20 tracks, there are nearly as many musical styles on offer. Country hoedown (‘Big Wheel’), trance (‘Bouncing Off Clouds’) and heavy rock (‘Teenage Hustling’) are all united by Amos’s exaggerated American twang. Some of the power rock moments feel misjudged, but this is, none the less, a mammoth achievement.

... there’s no word on which [doll] is responsible for the horrific album cover, which looks like something you’d get made at one of those record-your-own-song kiosks at Great Adventure.
Idolator recently posted a fairly scathing take on ADP. Read it here or hop on over to their blog to see the snarky follow-up comments.
You need a scorecard to keep track, but don’t worry. It’s still Tori Amos, bending syllables in improbable pretzels with rippling piano themes and choruses that threaten to go Broadway at any moment.
Casey spotted this review of American Doll Posse, from Amazon.com’s editorial staff, over on the Amazon site.
Though 23 cuts can become a Tower of Babel in song, Amos has written some of the tightest, most cohesive and diverse songs of her career here.
Phillip tipped us off to a lengthy, and very positive, review of ADP on Allmusic.com.
