"This time it's true: to these ears, this really is Morrissey's best album since 1994's Vauxhall And I. Years Of Refusal – another rollercoaster journey of wit and despair – follows three years after the much-vaunted UK No. 1, Ringleader Of The Tormentors. It is succinct, punchy and stinging, a 12-track, 43-minute palate cleanser. The fullness of Morrissey's years has given his voice gravitas. Whereas once he seemed to be aspiring to a world of imaginary hurt, now he's living right in the center of it." – BBC Music
