"Before it's over, Guesswork sounds like nothing so much as the effort of a lone individual making his best attempt to imbue our stilted means of contemporary communications with some form of warmth ... as removed from it all as Lloyd Cole may sometimes seem, Guesswork may be his most overt gesture of connection with his listeners, carrying with it the implicit suggestion that salvation circa 2019 takes more varied forms than we once imagined"

"Since the Commotions disbanded in 1989, Cole's solo career has been pleasingly varied, oscillating between adventures in ambient electronica (most notably 2001's Plastic Wood and his 2013 collaboration with Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and more standard singer-songwriter fare. Guesswork finds him combining the two strands, with conventional song structures fleshed out by synths"

"Guesswork isn't actually Cole's first go at using synths. But it is his first actual synthpop LP. It's surprising that he hasn't tried this sound before. The impression he gives is that, for years, he was fed up with simply being a cult artist, and thought guitars would be the best way to regain a mass audience. It's ironic then that this belated foray into electronic songcraft should contain some of the catchiest, most sophisticated pop he's ever recorded"
