| | Guardian | Modern art makes me sick |
 | | Shock is not the same thing as revulsion: many of the modern artists he champions have relied so heavily on revolting tactics that the shock of the new has been subject to the law of diminishing returns. |
 | | Collings is a bad critic because he has a fondness for such glib assertions, and because he underpins them with knowing self-deprecation, the very knowingness a plea for his views not to be reflected on carefully. |
 | | Like much modern art, for which Collings is an amiable if lightweight interlocutor, this series only, and only just, entertains. |
