Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Pitchfork 7.1/10 On their 1991 breakthrough album, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were the partially-clothed id, barreling toward the funk and stumbling across inclusiveness along the way.

Kerrang! 4/5 The Red Hot Chili Peppers have given us a wonderfully human record.

Rolling Stone 4/5 It was the more introverted material — the lashing, triple-meter "Breaking the Girl" and Kiedis' drug confessional "Under the Bridge" — that revealed new dimensions.

All Music 5/5 Frusciante departed after the supporting tour, leaving Blood Sugar Sex Magik as probably the best album the Chili Peppers will ever make.
