Well, I've posted the Rolling Stone (RU) review earlier in this thread...
"I think it’s an amazingly good album, I’ve got to be honest with you. It’s one of the albums I feel most proud of. But for people who don’t really know us, and have a sort of an idea about us, ‘Electric’ is more what the Pet Shop Boys are meant to be."
(Neil Tennant, speaking about "Elysium" on the eve of "Electric" release.)

GöteborgsPosten: 4/5, http://www.gp.se/kulturnoje/recensioner ... boys-super

Update:
Corren: 3/5, http://corren.se/kultur-noje/recensione ... 78424.aspx

Reviews have always been luke warm at best. Even albums like Actually and Behaviour, considered classics today, got bad reviews in Sweden.

Jungle World http://jungle-world.com/artikel/2016/12/53730.html

All reviews between quite good actually and really great!
It's obvious that this time all major media are reporting on it, on the day of release and in a sense of -they're beyond actually rating the music and expecting any kind of dissapointment seems silly-

Many 7/10 and similars and much more 8/10 than 6/10.

So you can say the global rating is 7'5/10. More or less.

You can trace general reception here:

Better than metacritic stats (in a way it uses more sources).

I've been around the world for a number of reasons. I've seen it all the change of seasons, and I, my lord, may I say nothing?

Idolator 4/5 "In these days where “super” pop is a rare commodity, music still needs the Pet Shop Boys. And at least we know we have them for one more album."
