Konservatiivinen ja yksi maailman arvostetuimmista uutislehdistä The Times sai kunnian kuulla Britney Spearsin Blackout -albumin kokonaisuudessan, ja brittilehti piti kuulemastaan: "Lähes kaikki levyn kappaleet täyttävät fantastisen popin kriteerit". Blackout sai näin ollen huikean vastaanoton ensiarvostelussaan.

The Times (October 22, 2007)
World exclusive: first review of the new Britney Spears album Blackout
[Britney Spears has] seen her new single Gimme More leap into the British chart's top three -- She is first and foremost a pop star. In a life not exactly saturated with joy, she should take a certain amount of pleasure in the fact that Blackout coheres far better than sprawling recent sets by her fellow Mickey Mouse Club alumni Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. Far from apologising for a roll-call of adversity -- She comes out fighting on the utterly wonderful Piece Of Me -- On the Pharrell Williams-written Why Should I Be Sad and, indeed, most of what precedes it, Britney is a strangely disembodied presence – her heavily treated voice suspended amid an icy fug of minor chords and brittle synthetic beats -- On Get Naked (I Got A Plan) and Radar her voice is a piece that slots tidily into a finely sculpted piece of burnished future-pop -- Perfect Lover and Toy Soldier are quite simply two of the most strangely wonderful tunes to emerge on any record this year –-- They tick almost every box in the checklist of great pop, period. Perhaps that shouldn’t be so surprising. After all, Britney Spears learned to be a pop star way before she learned to be an adult. In a sense then, it’s fitting that her facility for great pop moments is the very last facet of her to shut down.
