When Post comes to an end, it feels like getting back from a good vacation: the last thing you want to do is re-enter the real world
– Rolling Stone
After years of (no) alternative fascist grunge domination, it’s heartening that Björk and producer-co-songwriter Nellee Hooper stayed true to themselves and created another highly personal album that has a chance of interrupting the airwave flow of whiny rockers with little imagination
– Spin Magazing
The work of a constantly changing artist, Post proves that as Björk moves toward more ambitious, complex music, she always surpasses herself
– Heather Phares, AllMusic
