Critical reception


Trouser Press wrote that "Björk's singing is shapely, passionate and willfully bizarre; she carries the album pretty much on her own." MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide deemed Stick Around for Joy the band's "most accessible and, true to its name, happiest sounding album, packed end to end with lively and tuneful dance pop." The Rolling Stone Album Guide thought that "it's the churning interplay of guitarist Thor Eldon and the rhythm section that ultimately carries the album." The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "bassist Bragi Olafsson and drummer Siggi Baldursson don't do much to dispel the notion that funk just isn't a Nordic thing." The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that by Stick Around for Joy the Sugarcubes had "already degenerated into mind-numbing mediocrity."
